This paper presents a case study of a nonprofit homeless organization in Burlington, VT, that is dedicated to the principles of client-centeredness. Originated by psychologist Carl Rogers as a therapeutic philosophy, this approach has been applied in numerous social service & organizational settings. For this agency, client-centered practice entails the promotion of client empowerment & the responsible use of staff authority. Client participation in homeless programming is identified as one tool that may facilitate both client autonomy & a balance of staff-client power. Clients, staff, & administrators of this agency were interviewed to help explain the philosophy & practice of client-centeredness, as well as pitfalls of the client-centered approach. Hypotheses & future questions for research are also suggested. 22 References. Adapted from the source document.

With more than 40 million people living with HIV/AIDS—and more than 25 million dead from related diseases since the early 1980s—the need to understand the causes and impact of the pandemic is manifest. In response, The Global Politics of AIDS explores power and politics at multiple levels, ranging from individual behavior to corporate boardrooms to international institutions and forces. The authors combine careful scholarship with sensitivity to both the suffering of those afflicted and the frustration of those seeking to bring about meaningful change.
