[Problems at the interface between medical and psychosocial management].
Cooperation has become a standard-component in the meantime if it is about the insertion of structure-improving measures in the public health. But Problems occur in particular if the borders of the vocational activity have to be crossed with it. Prenatal-diagnostic measures as potentially conflictful psychosocial burden-situations, that take their starting point at medical actions, show very clear, that it is not only helpful but even absolutely necessary that different professions work together. However this is still the exception. The aim, standing behind these efforts, is always the creation of an integral, low-thresholded care--and support-offer for the concerned women and their partners. In the present work some important conditions for cooperation from the theory will be named, central obstacles for the build-up of cooperation described and already existing initiatives in the area of prenatal diagnostics introduced.
