Publisher's Synopsis
As David explores Christie's options with her, she indicates that moving back in with John is not on the table. David is curious to learn more about John's interactions with Christie because regardless of whether they reconcile, he may continue to be involved in their lives as their daughter Cristelle's father. In this sense, David is assessing risk. What is it about the way he does this that merits the title 'co-assessing'? How does David draw out a detailed account of both Christie's observations, but also her reflections on safety and the possible merits of reunification with John? What questions help to move from vague generalizations to concrete examples? What aspects of this practice might you have done similarly/differently?
