This paper, the first in a two‐part series, focuses on a single, genetic constellation important to the choice of becoming a professional helper: False Self compliance within a prolonged merger with a caretaker. The main characteristic of this merger is that the professional helper, during early childhood, accurately perceives that he or she is needed to help to maintain parental narcissistic equilibrium. Clinical evidence is provided to support this formulation and some implications for the education, the professional functioning, and the treatment of the professional helper are explored
