Recommendations for Practice
1.The Relationship is the client, not the individuals
2.Good developmental knowledge is essential
3.Sometimes observing rather than actively intervening is best
4.Need supervisor who is your secure base with whom you reflect upon your “ghosts” and the feelings associated with this work
(Lieberman & Van Horn, 2008)
