From paternalism to partnership: family and professional collaboration in children's mental health.
A survey of 455 caregivers of children with severe emotional disorders identified four empirically distinct dimensions of collaboration between mental health professionals and the children's family members. Characteristics of families, professionals, and the service delivery process associated with the dimensions are examined, as is the relationship between collaboration and family satisfaction.
