| Summary, etc. |
Statistics for the helping professions are different than for other fields. Not that the calculations are different or that even different procedures are used. Rather, the questions asked are different. Helping professionals deal in concrete situations that directly affect the lives of people, and not just any people, but people with whom we have to work on a daily basis. |
