Abstract
The author briefly discusses negative attitudes and prejudices held by some helping professionals, and the consequences for the patients in their care. She stresses the need for mental health workers to maintain respect for their clients from the outset, and to support them in their struggle for growth and self-esteem, rather than becoming detached from them, patronizing them, or blaming them for their illness. Respect requires humility in the face of another's misfortune, and a strong affirmation of our common humanity.
