Contradictions in interprofessional care: possibilities for change and development?

Pages 151-160 | Published online: 06 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

A descriptive model is outlined for analysis of contradictions in interprofessional care. Six persons from child psychiatric hospital staff and six hospital school teachers who worked with two teenagers were interviewed over a 7-month period in order to examine the nature of their occupational activity. The 47 interviews (225 pages of transcribed text) were examined using discourse analysis. The results indicate that the possibilities for development, which appear as contradictions in human activity and the efforts to resolve them, can be examined from the point of view of the evolution and change in semantic structures.
