steve1 5 #26 February 17, 2006 Having a prejudice is an interesting topic. We all have them and may or may not be aware of them. When I went through school to become a counselor, we were once asked if there were any clients out there that we probably shouldn't work with for whatever reason. One type of client that I think I'd have a real tough time working with would be someone who had sexually abused a child. I really don't have any empathy for this type of person, and I'd probably have a really tough time trying to counsel them. So, I'd have to refer them to someone else. I also mentioned that someone who is a hom-sexual might be better off finding a different therapist. Although I have a greater depth of understanding toward someone like that now. I still don't have enough understanding or empathy to help them like a counselor should. So, again I may need to work on whatever predjudices I have left in this area. You were quite right to pick up on this in my earlier statements....Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
