The child analyst who serves as consultant in casework should avoid unnecessary and confusing use of analytic terminology and theory. Instead, he should be able to convey his understanding of dynamics in terms that match the worker's training, experience and needs. The consultant should be thoroughly conversant with all types of technique used with children so that he may assist the worker with her particular approach, and especially with her problems concerning countertransference. Qualified consultants are cautious in recommending to the client the use of interpretations, and are aware that children must learn to curb as well as gratify their instincts if they are to resolve neurotic conflicts.
