Abstract
Abstract In accounts of their own powerlessness, young people, mostly homeless and from Sydney, indicated that there is often a period in their lives which is so black that to talk of empowerment is irrelevant, even unhelpful. Beyond that difficult period these respondents suggest confirmation of claims that empowerment goes through different stages and is related to goals of social justice. In order to develop the theoretical basis of these ideas, Jungian insights derived from studies of alchemy were combined with previous social work literature on one-, two- and three-dimensional ways of exercising power. The result is a process which embodies a personally and politically creative struggle to achieve empowerment at different stages and in various contexts.
