“…Previous work to describe the professional point of view has focused on concepts such as partnership (Compton and Galaway 1994; MHAPE 2005), empowerment (Solomon 1994; Turner 1978), case management (Ryan et al 1999), and citizens (Sayce 2000). In recent Norwegian white papers, the focus in rehabilitation is increasingly on relationships and processes, and several concepts are used such as “ Person involvement ” (SMN 1996–1997), “ The patient first ” (NOU 1997), “ There is use for everyone ” (NOU 1998), “ A new plan in mental health care ”(SPN 1997–1998), The Patients’ Rights Act (Lovdata 1999), “ Individual plan ” (NDH 2006), “ Guidelines to mental health work for adults in municipalities (SHD 2005), “ National Strategy for Quality Improvement ” (NDHSA 2005), inspired by similar strategies in other countries, and “ Relatives and family – a resource ” (SHD 2007).…”

ObjectiveThe basic aim in this paper is to discuss health care professionals’ experiences of person-centered collaboration and involvement in mental health rehabilitation and suggest ways of improving this perspective. Furthermore, the paper explains the supportive systems that are at work throughout the process of rehabilitation.MethodThe study design is a qualitative approach using three focus group interviews with a total of 17 informants with different professional backgrounds such as nurses, social workers, and social pedagogies. In addition, one nurse and one social worker participated in a semi-structured in-depth interview to judge validity.ResultsOur results may demonstrate deficits concerning mental health care on several levels. This understanding suggests firstly, that a person-centered perspective and involvement still are uncommon. Secondly, multidisciplinary work seems uncommon and only sporadically follows recommendations. Thirdly, family support is seldom involved. Lastly, firm leadership and knowledge about laws and regulations seems not to be systematically integrated in daily care.ConclusionTaking these matters together, the improvement of a person-centered perspective implies cooperation between different services and levels in mental health care. In order to bring about improvement the health care workers must critically consider their own culture, coordination of competence must be increased, and leadership at an institutional and organizational level must be improved so that scarce rehabilitation resources are used to the optimal benefit of people with a mental illness.

“…Nous avons aussi exclu les études sur des clientèles uniques : personnes itinérantes, ex-détenus, les personnes qui vivent un premier épisode psychotique, ou qui ont toutes un double diagnostic santé mentale/ alcoolisme-toxicomanie. Dans un cas, une étude multi-sites qui a eu recours à des devis différents pour 3 sites, a été répartie en trois études (Ryan et al, 1999 ;Ford et al, 2001 À la fin de ce processus, il restait 24 études, 11 à devis expéri -mental (répartition aléatoire des sujets entre 2 ou 3 groupes), et 13 avec un devis quasi expérimental, généralement, une comparaison avantaprès, ou une comparaison avec un échantillon apparié. Toutes les études comparatives portaient sur un modèle de case management et les services habituels (treatment as usual) ou le case management standard, à l'exception d'une étude qui comparaît également deux variantes d'une approche expérimentale (O'Donnell et al, 1999).…”

The politics of case management and social work

A case study analysing the introduction of case management into British social services supports the argument that social work is constructed through political processes. In such processes, the interaction among the interests of stakeholders within service innovations influences the construction of the role of social work. Case management was introduced to Britain, but developed in three different forms: social care entrepreneurship, brokerage and multiprofessional case management, including assertive outreach. The forms adopted were affected by the political interaction of stakeholders rather than the professional possibilities offered by case management itself. Evidence for the politics of case management is drawn from analysis of professional literature, the texts of official documents and empirical research outcomes. The introduction of case management led to a debate about how the nature of social work was affected by the innovation. Three alternative views were that social work was improved, or attacked by case management, or made a valid contribution to case management as a different form of practice. It is proposed that to understand the impact of a service innovation on social work, four factors must be considered: the character of the innovation itself; the economic, political and social contexts in which it is introduced; the political and social interests of the stakeholders themselves; and the political and social processes that take place during the introduction of the innovation.
