Description
Focusing on adolescent psychiatry, especially in residential treatment and other settings where members of different disciplines work together, this book describes the day-to-day work of various specialists and practitioners and shows how different staff members with contrasting aims can, and do, collaborate. While demonstrating the value and effectiveness of multiprofessional work, the text points out the problems as well as the opportunities of the multidisciplinary team. An account is provided of the work and development of a well-established adolescent unit, along with a representation of sketches of what it is like to be a member of the disciplines.
