Abstract:

Perhaps most important, though, is the philosophical perspective that defines for our work a clear context of economic realities which we explain carefully to our clients; a perspective of caution about placing total blame on our clients for their failures or about assuming excessive responsibility ourselves; and yet, a perspective in which we recognize productive and meaningful work as a basic human right, and strive skillfully and courageously to help our clients find the satisfaction and meaning in work they desire.
