Description In the Text is Discribed Potential Use of Power by a Social Worker in Relationship with Clients in a the Person Centred Approach (PCA). First are Presented Methods for the Use Power in Relationship to the client, which Are Often Contrary to PCA View. Use of Power by a Social Worker Is Related to Helping or Control Focus of Social Work. Rogers Uses a Different Perception of the Concept of Power and Control in Relationship to the Client, Unlike Other Authors in Social Work. His Concept of Power Gives Power to the Clients, Thereby Making them Competent to Solve their Problems. Using Data from Research Among Social Workers, Trainees and Graduate Training in the Person Centered Approach, Organized by Diakonia, I Discuss the Possibility of Applying Rogers´s Concept of Power in Relationship to Clients of Social Workers. The Power has Rather Negative Connotations in Contact with Clients. The Negative Connotation Strenghtens Clients Handicaps.
