Individuals must be given the opportunity to abnegate their freedom to
make choices and, therefore, the individual who possesses that right can
only give abnegation. Counselors must be
trained to be proactive in defining their own roles within the
institutions so that they are not forced to abnegate important functions
such as collaboration in school-family-community partnerships. Even if one chooses to abnegate the self by
choosing the option of obedience to an external rulegiver (saying
"thy will be done"), this is still a self-choosing. |
