Summary/Abstract: The social worker-client relationship is a construction that depends on both parties. Difficulties that may arise support the importance of assertive communication and maintaining professional boundaries. In rural areas, specific problems (such as lack of resources, administrative tasks /clearly undefined roles, difficult to maintain confidentiality, etc.) make the mission of the social worker even more difficult. Understanding the contextual factors by the social worker, professionally managing the relationship with the client, efficient time and stress management, the balance between professional and personal life are essential and must be supplemented with measures from the organization (avoiding overloading, supervision and support and training).
