This article has been conceived as a theoretical essay on the possibility of using the theory of Erich Fromm in establishing and maintaining a client relationship in the context of anti-oppressive social work. The first section of the text presents possibilities of using Fromm's models in resolving the risk of self-sacrifice to the client; the second focuses on how to work within the client's boundaries and the risk of paternalistic approaches; the third proposes concepts with regard to working with client ir/responsibility.
