Sammanfattning: Author: Johanna Jarl and Marie Westphal Title: Co-operation and Collaboration The Social services and Child- and adolescence psychiatry joined action [Translated title] Supervisor: Mikael Sandgren Examiner: Torbjörn Hjort Children and adolescences that have both psychological and social problems is an increasing number of the society. It used to be a demand that Social workers and personnel at Child and adolescence psychiatry had interdisciplinary collaboration, today it is more then a demand it is a requirement. The aim of this study was to understand how the personnel at the Social services and Child and adolescence psychiatry look at the cooperation between the two organizations in Sweden. To be able to accomplish this study we have interviewed four persons employed at the Social services and three persons employed at Child- and adolescencepsychiatry all of them were interviewed individually. To be able to analyze our material from the interviews we have used new institutional organization theory and Goffmans dramaturgic perspective at teams. The interviews showed that there is collaboration between the organizations on all levels, but that the organizations have different priorities. A example of this is that the Social services have an increase in demand of prevention labor which Child- and Adolescence psychiatry will no longer perform due to changes in the organization. We also learned that many factors influence the co-operation and collaboration between the two organizations. The factors we found were belonging to different organizations, professional skills, experience, view, communication, responsibility, rolls and changes in the organization.
