After so much stress on the necessity of a leader to prevent his own personal feelings and attitudes from interfering in a helping relationship (see the excellent study by Seward Hiltner: Counselor on Counseling. Nashville, Tennessee, Abingdon, 1950) it seems necessary to re-establish the basic principle that no one can help anyone without becoming involved, without entering with his whole person into the painful situation, without taking the risk of becoming hurt, wounded or even destroyed in the process.
