Interprofessional dynamics that promote client empowerment in mental health practice: A social work perspective

Abstract: Summary Interprofessional practice has been broadly endorsed as a strategy which supports the delivery of high-quality health services.

Tensions are inherent between the medical model of symptom management and social work's emphasis on empowerment (Cui et al, 2022) and human rights.…”
