This is the curious interrogative stance adopted by the
KeyWorker - part of
The Therapist's Mentalizing Stance, which refers to
The Inquisitive Stance, a state of not-knowing that stimulates questions.

Holding the Balance between) two conscious wishes:
- The wish to avoid causing harm or undue distress ('Care')
- The wish to facilitate positive change ('Concern').
