Realize Ellie may have attachment issues related to her previous history and will need to encourage the family to be active in her care. 3. Support the family in the decision-making process of continuing to let Ellie live in the home. 4. Discuss inpatient therapy to decrease Ellie's manipulative behavior patterns.
