Working collaboratively with families.
Research studies indicate that significant tension characterizes the relationships between providers and families whose relative is being treated in the mental health system. The author recommends that genuinely collaborative relationships be developed in order that people receiving treatment receive optimal care. Collaboration is defined, barriers identified, and ways to overcome these barriers suggested.
