Most of the students studying social welfare have a pure desire to help the elderly, people with physical handicaps, or people with emotional problems. Although the students' pure motive empowers them to achieve their future goals, behind their wishes, we can see their own emotional problems, coming from their experiences of being abused or bullied. Despite the students' various personal types of emotional problems, their common issue is their low self-esteem, which often makes them emotinally unstable and insecure. As a result, they are sometimes not able to help a client effectively, or, in some cases, they may even harm a client. Thus, it is very important to give special attention to improving student's self-esteem, which will, in turn, protect our future clients' best interests. This study focuses on an actual case work process during a period of fifteen months for a welfare student who experienced emotional problems resulting from physical and emotional abuse. Dr. Michele Borba's idea of "the components of self-esteem" is introduced to reinforce this student's self-esteem. Specific techniques and workers'roles are discussed in each stage with some ideas. From this study, I conclude that reinforcing this student's self-esteem lessened her emotional problems and helped her become more independent in her life.
