I n this way a more professional relationship will be created, in which the client can be led to realize that the counsellor regards him as important for himself a n d not merely as a channel of information a b o u t the marriage.

For example, a wife referred to a probation officer by a medical practitioner could feel angry a n d humiliated, a n d m a y not at all understand why this has been necessary. I n such cases, the utmost care is needed on the p a r t of both the referring person and the person who accepts the case to explain exactly why one agency is better able t h a n another to cope with her problem. If the doctor can say t h a t the probation officer or the marriage counsellor is specially trained to deal with such anxieties, then he is giving more effective help to her a n d to the other worker than if he says, for example, that he has not the time to help her himself b u t knows someone who might have.
