| Abstract: |
This research study explores the meaning of helping for senior students in human services using an open-ended interview format. Analysis of the data reveals helping occurred in a context of a continual shift between the helper and those being helped. The context is also rich with positive and negative emotions. Four themes emerge from the experience: Need, Openness, Action, and Change. These themes relate directly to the helping literature. Researchers suggest implications for human service education and for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
