- 38. Examples: Susan, a nurse who is the adult child of an alcoholic, has strong feelings about helping alcoholics to achieve sobriety. She volunteers her time to be a support person on call to help recovering alcoholics. She is aware of her feelings & her desire to help others.

- 42. Example: Susan would prefer not to take care of the client in detox because doing so provokes painful memories from her childhood.

She learned over her life situation, & left home as soon as she graduated from high school. The need to stay in control has always been very important to susan , & she is unaware that working with recovering alcoholics helps to fulfill this need in her. The people she is helping are also unaware that susan is satisfying an unfulfilled personal need as she provides them with assistance.
