(Sevel, Cummins, and Madrigal, 1999, pg. 11) I agree with this statement whole heatedly because I have always believed that all people are unique and should be treated with dignity and respect.I had a difficult time identifying what would be Shiela's value issues, and after much thought cannot identify any.My values are to treat client with respect and dignity regardless of my personal feelings. Sheila was an easy client to work with and there were no value conflicts for me.

(1999) Social Work Skills Demonstrated. I imagined how she must have been feeling about this exercise, as I myself was nervous about talking to her about my own issue.
