Human Services Steve and the Counselor What has the counselor learned from Steve? Halstead explains that "Empowerment comes from the process of discovering new learning," and in effect what the counselor learned from Steve has empowered the counselor for the future. Empowerment also comes from "enduring the struggle" and "overcoming obstacles" that previously prevented progress (Halstead, 2000, p. 2). The obstacles that Steve had to overcome were huge, and notwithstanding the fact
Human Services Interrelationships between several features of "critical learning": Not accepting things at face value, until self-reflection has taken place and the reasons for believing certain arguments have been fully flushed out, is an important concept in the process of critical learning.
