The Profession of Kinlein emerged from a desire to help people in a way that recognizes the innate dignity of the person and the power to take action, uniquely and purposefully, in living life.
This website is designed to introduce the PROFESSION OF KINLEIN as well as the PRACTICE in assisting persons and to outline opportunities in LEARNING about:
- a new view of being human
- the way of assisting a person
- a new approach in teaching and learning
Caring with people
Kinleiners assist persons in any aspect of life: work life, home life, figuring things out, getting along with others, parenting, loving one another, health, and whatever else life brings. The process of assisting is called caring-with. The term caring-with distinguishes the nature of kinleinal care from other forms such as "taking care of", "caring for", or "giving care to". Kinleiners meet with clients in office appointments or in other settings where one or more persons desire to be assisted.
Kinleiners are certified through the American Kinlein Association.

- the idea that relationships can be navigated in ways that bring benefit to those involved, family, friends and community.
- philosophy, i.e., love of wisdom, applied in living life
The whole of the profession of kinlein is dedicated to bringing benefit to humankind through its practice, education, and research. Its body of knowledge builds on and from all that is good and helpful and valuable in being human.
