In this essay the purpose is to show my readers some of the emotions that professional helpers may experience in their daily work. The result is based on interviews with two helpers who works with people that have a variety of problems. Problems that these helpers are facing can for instance be alcoholism/drug abuse/homelessness/psychic illness or a combination of some of these problems. The questions I´m seeking to answer is; How does these helpers look at their own role and the relationship to their clients, and how do they feel about the group of people they are working with? I will also display some experiences regarding the influence from the society and it´s responsibility towards these people. Some of the result show that these two helpers creates very different relations to their clients, and that it can be understood through their different sets of goals. We can also notice that both believes that some of the citizens reaction towards this group of people, could depend on fear and a lack of knowledge.
