Excerpt

In recent years it has become increasingly important for clinicians to collaborate with systems of caregivers, act as consultants to agencies, and provide a supervisory role. This is particularly true for child and adolescent psychiatrists, who often are working with multiple systems including parents, schools, community centers, residential treatment centers, other health care and mental health providers, religious institutions, primary health care providers, child welfare agencies, juvenile justice systems, programs for those with developmental disabilities, early childhood programs, and substance abuse services(Chenven 2010; Sarvet and Wegner 2010; Winters et al. 2007). Solution-focused conversational skills can be extremely valuable in roles such as working as a consultant with staff and agencies, facilitating team meetings with multiple providers, and providing supervision. This chapter will attempt to provide a guide as to how to best accomplish these challenging jobs.
