Hi Pauline,
You provide an eloquently stated reply to the newspaper article. I agree with
you full-heartedly. However and unfortunately, I wonder if the media is fully
capable of conveying that message. Hence I belive it then it comes to us
practitioners to convey those messages so that this practice seeps into the
collective consciousness of the population at large.
Typically, the best promotion of Collaborative Practice is exemplary service
and client satisfaction. As such it behooves us all to continually strive to be
top on our game.
In the meantime, still good press.
Best,
Gary
