It was with great pleasure that I recently received the latest
Collaborative Review from the IACP. While many of the articles held my
attention and were certainly worth the read..two in particular stood
out. Quoting from Ron Ousky,"...listen to each other, share ideas,
stay true to our central principal, and make sure that our differences
do not detract us from our primary purpose."; and also quoting from
Chip Rose, "There is a bond that distinguishes our facilitative family
from the adjudicatory families." Forums like this listserv enable
collaborative practitioners to do exactly what these two gentlemen have
stated. Well done, Ron and Chip. I am grateful to be involved and
helping to do my part in the Collaborative effort. May our family
continue to grow and flourish!
