Zusammenfassung:This article focuses on ways in which therapists can mamtain vitality in their work with people. Becoming more aware of personal dynamics, particularly of the need for control and power, is essential. To remain open to new theories and approaches avoids the pitfall of professional encapsulation. Experiencing the client as a person not only facilitates empathy but involves therapists in the growth process as well. Developing a tragic awareness of life enables therapists to maintain a sense of awe, wonder, and grace toward the human predicament, thus bringing "depth" or "spirituality" to their work.
