Employment / The LOK Association employs over 400 staff members. In the view of the LOK Association, the fundamental elements of a professional attitude are:

• Appreciation and respect, understood as accepting clients "just as they are." The primary focus is not on the expectation of rapid change, but rather on accepting the clients' ways of living and self-expression.

• Curiosity and interest in the clients—in their life stories and their coping strategies.

• A willingness to engage in reflection and to grapple with the demands inherent in this work.
