title: The tri-optic: Next step for Collaborative Family Health Care.
abstract: C. J. Peek, PhD, is a descriptive psychologist, someone trained to organize and define the implicit structure of a discipline. Dr. Peek applies his training to name and organize the content of Collaborative Family Health Care (CFHC) and to examine our next developmental steps. In Dr. Peek's article (see record 2015-25290-002), the reader will find a clear examination of the CFHC organizing principles, visionary components, 20 years of planning, CFHC core competencies, and outcomes. According to Seaburn (see record 2015-10057-002), the impetus for Peek's work comes with the passing last year of Donald A. Bloch, MD, the principle person who envisioned our discipline, founded our organization, and launched this journal.
