The active element of motivational work is the dynamic between the motivational worker and his client. The motivational worker does not hide behind a mask or a role, for the more he is himself, the more he can take advantage of therapeutic situation’s opportunities. The personal inventory he brings to the meeting with his client includes his values and opinions, and it is this aspect of his work that we have been exploring (Motivational Work, Part 1: Values and Theory, pages 679 – 680).
Commitment and Protective Suit
From the perspective of motivational work, most will be gained from the encounter if the motivational worker ham the following values and opinions, which also form part of his constructive ascribed untransmuted contact rebus. In that way, the list is also the motivational worker’s protective suit, which makes it possible to stay committed and not be burnt out:
* All clients have potential: there are no hopeless cases.
* All situations have potential: there are no hopeless situations.
* The motivational worker has the primary responsibility for the motivational work.
* The motivational worker must be fully conversant with the signs of latent motivation.
* The latently motivated client always appeals for help via his contact rebuses (the theory of contact rebuses).
* Emotional change always involves two steps forwards and one step back (the theory of life-energy processes).
* The client changes through encounters in the here and now and through the relationship.
