The assignment was to counsel the 10 worst behaved boys at an inner‐city elementary school. This case study illuminates the interplay between theory, practice, and values by describing effective techniques of intervention in a situation that reflects social pathology. Traditional African values and certain principles of character provide a set of reliable standards for improving behavior.
