Working with your CLIENT

29th March 2018
One of the Core Features of AMBIT is using Mentalization in face to face work with your clients.
Active Planning most centrally captures this, but there are a wide range of other aspects of face to face working that are also gathered under this heading as sub-topics (click the Show references and info panel of this page to reveal these). The main ones are listed right below here:
