Practitioners of all professions recognize the need and importance
of collaboration, yet many find it far from easy to achieve. This
book provides insights and understandings into the complexities of
collaborative relationships so that individuals and groups can take
constructive action to detect hindrances and attempt to overcome
them.
The heightened interest in new ways of working together in
health and social care has merited a new edition of this excellent
text. Four new contributors have enlarged on the pioneering work of
the late Sally Hornby, adding new material on collaborative
relationships within organizational hierarchies of health and
social care. Key themes such as the fight for resources, the
tendency of professionals to behave defensively towards their
clients, their departments and their resources, and the use of
individual and group coping mechanisms are revisited. The new focus
adds reflections on the effects of the professional and
organizational contexts to these issues and provides new
perspectives on the effectiveness of helping relationships in the
year 2000 and beyond.
