Collaboration in the Direct Treatment of Children: A Comparison of the Use of This Technique in Three Cases From a Child Guidance Clinic and Three Cases From a Family Agency, Involving the Co-operative Efforts of Two Therapists Treating the Parent and Child of the Same Family
Abstract
Background and Timeliness of the Study. Collaboration, or the collaborative process, as it is used in the family agency and the child guidance clinic in the direct treatment of children, enables individual therapists to share their ideas and feelings regarding certain patients and case situations in which they have mutual involvement. Those engaged in the collaborative process, whether they be psychiatrists, clinical psychologists or psychiatric social workers, bring to the collaborative situations, knowledge based upon their own experience and background. Through the exchange of ideas and knowledge of their particular discipline with those involved in the other disciplines, they often leave the collaborative conference armed with increased awareness and insight that enables them to better understand and treat their patients.
