Abstract

Introduction

Those active in human services or educational settings eventually hear a parable about people drowning in a river:

While walking along a river, a villager notices someone drowning. After pulling the swimmer ashore, the rescuer notices another person drowning. Before long, the river is filled with people struggling for breath, and more village rescuers run to assist. Some at risk are not saved; some fall back into the river after having been pulled ashore. One of the rescuers then departs, walking upstream alone.
