I like the traditional family model of Baldwin-Schaeffer- That the traditional family is predicated on the idea that all families will organize themselves along the dimensions of control and affection. How a particular family demonstrates control and affection translates into specific parenting/child rearing techniques or procedures. Subsequently, specific child rearing techniques directly impact upon the personality development of the child. All families organize themselves along the dimensions of affection and control which will result in specific child-rearing techniques, approaches, & behaviors. The family will demonstrate a unique pattern of affection, involvement, and supervision/ control which will influence both the development and behavior of the child. Baldwin, A. L. (1959). Socialization and the parent-child relationship. Child Dev. 19: 127– 136.
As a counselor I see me performing a variety of functions and roles wearing different hats, these are just a few:
Have a genuine caring for your clients
Be a good Listener

And to follow up to make sure those resources were attained.
Campaigner
As a counselor/social workers I would fight for the rights of those that are vulnerable and are without a voice. Convincing others of the legitimate needs and rights of the silent minority. At all levels micro, mezzo and macro level.
