ABSTRACT
This chapter introduces the system and concept of careseeking from the McCluskey model. It focuses on the session structure, offers more detail on the genesis of the theory relevant to careseeking, and how people introduced this in the pilot at work. The effectiveness of careseeking is having some skills, tools, language to discern needs, being able to express them in a way which makes sense for the other, and then seek satisfaction. It is complex. Successful careseeking depends upon some awareness of the care sought and the identification of a caregiving person or activity–some completion of the cycle to affect a restorative process–effective or temporary. This means then that careseeking is intra and inter personal. In the work of training, teaching, facilitating or therapy, people might find themselves managing the threat. The development or assuagement for the careseeker depends on the availability of the caregiver.
