Popis: The claim that parent/health visitor (HV) relationshipsare essential for positive outcomes is widely supported, butalso contested. Within psychotherapy and other helpingprofessions, researchers have developed measures todemonstrate that the relationship with the therapist is, indeed,linked to positive outcomes. In health visiting no such toolsexist, so there is no way to measure any potential benefits fromthe relationship. This paper explores the reasons why measuresused in psychotherapy and other helping relationships may beunsuitable for measuring parent/HV relationships. It reviewsa number of measures used and argues the need for a specificparent/HV relationship tool.
