Abstract
This paper uses critical realism to identify mechanisms that activate successful relationships. It draws data from a longitudinal, mixed-methods study of youth who used multiple services. It examines functionality of four relational mechanisms: power, recognition, responsiveness and mutuality that lead to positive change and explores the implications of these for practice with youth with complex needs.
