A role play of the heavily "marked" (an example of "Ostensive Communication") and ritualised way of discussing case material recommended by AMBIT.  The point of this is to maximise the accuracy and efficiency of information exchange and mentalizing, especially in situations of high affect (worry) for the worker, who is at risk of leaping into action, or shrinking from help because of professional shame.  Contrast this with "Thinking Apart" - a well-meaning failure!
