“Boldly going where none have gone before, the authors have courageously engaged with the new and unfolding area of Collaborative Practice. In doing so they have ventured beyond the basic structures to bring us fresh conceptualizations, brought to life through illustrative vignettes describing characters that are ever so familiar to the experienced practitioner. Their ideas are original, theoretically sound and will be very useful to this ever evolving community.”
