From the Paper:

"The teacher of adult college students might very well through authentic caring and interactions assist the individual who has found no course of productivity in life to find a moment of transformation in which they feel cared for and feel a part of the world around them thereby enabling them to envision precisely what they would most like to do as a productive human being and to love themselves enough to comprehend what it is that they personally would be the most satisfied and fulfilled in pursuing as their life's work."
