A Helper's Treasure Chest: Memorabilia from Special Clients
Abstract
Many helping professionals keep small items from client contacts. These items represent special moments with clients that are etched in the memory of the helping professional. They become "treasures" to the helper. They are reminders of powerful interactions that have changed both the client and the helper. In this narrative, items from a helper's "treasure chest" (a baseball card, a dried red rose, and an eraser) symbolize the lives of some special young people. Readers are challenged to examine symbolic items from their own professional interactions and clientele.
