  With the implementation of the new community care legislation, this book aims to help practitioners of all professions recognise the need and importance of collaboration. It brings a fresh perspective to the problems of collaboration at ground level between practitioners, carers and self-helpers. It focuses on the nature of relationships across the boundaries of role, profession and agency, as these come together with the personal boundary and affect the identity of the individual. The text introduces a conceptual framework and common terminology that is based on the author's experience. It is illustrated throughout with examples that highlight collaborative difficulties, and the theory is introduced solely to help understand the underlying problems.
