Collaborative Care: Interprofessional, Interagency and Interpersonal

"Collaborative Care: Interprofessional, Interagency and Interpersonal, Second Edition" by Sally Hornby, Jo Atkins(auth.), published by Wiley-Blackwell. 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.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1–9): Chapter 2 Difficulties in Working Together (pages 10–23): Chapter 3 A Relational Approach to Collaboration (pages 24–33): Chapter 4 Provision of Help and Helping Relationships: Collaborative Framework I (pages 34–47): Chapter 5 Primary Collaboration (pages 48–60): Chapter 6 Secondary and Participatory Collaboration (pages 61–73): Chapter 7 Facework Structures and the Resource Pool: Collaborative Framework II (pages 74–84): Chapter 8 Practitioners, Carers and Volunteers (pages 85–93): Chapter 9 The Importance of Identity and Role (pages 95–106): Chapter 10 Working?Identity and Collaboration (pages 107–118): Chapter 11 Working?Identity: The Defended Position (pages 119–132): Chapter 12 Professional and Agency Identity: The Separatist Position (pages 133–148): Chapter 13 Province, Domain and Facework Functions: Collaborative Framework III (pages 149–158): Chapter 14 Developing Collaborative Practice (pages 149–170): Chapter 15 Working Together: Towards a Collaborative Ethos (pages 171–174): Chapter 16 Consequences of Institutional Anxiety (pages 180–191): Chapter 17 The Environment of Collaborative Care (pages 192–203): Chapter 18 The Three Collaborative Frameworks (pages 204–213): Book details: 236 pages, published 2000.
