Problem: What is the definition of professional humility? One of the difficulties in obtaining professional humility is learning we are not in control. It can be difficult because as correctional professionals we expect to tell someone to do something and if they don't -- there are consequences. This can lead to feeling more powerful than we should. Explain how and why you need to give up control if you want to achieve professional humility. Also, how does being open to treatment practices improve our professional humility?
