Sammanfattning: People with severe mental illness and co-occurring substance abuse are an especially vulnerable group in society as health care for those is shared between municipality and county council. There is an associated health need of this target group so the interaction of the social services and the psychiatric care is of great importance. However, there are shortcomings in this interaction with results in that people with dual diagnosis do not always receive adequate care. Diverse knowledge and explanatory models may create problems for the interaction as they include different ways to define, understand, explain and deal with a problem. The purpose of this study was to examine how the interaction between the social service addiction treatment and the psychiatric care is, concerning people with dual diagnosis, focusing on how their respective knowledge and explanatory models affect the interaction. The study was conducted in a county where we interviewed seven people in the social services addiction treatment and the psychiatric care. We used qualitative interviews conducted with the help of a semi-structured variant. The theoretical perspectives that were applied in the study were the theories of; interaction, science- and knowledge-based controversies, and some concepts from the new institutionalism. We concluded that interactions occur in various forms and at a high level of ambition between the social services addiction treatment and the psychiatric care in regards to people with dual diagnosis. We also concluded that the diverse professional knowledge and explanatory models affects the interoperability through the creation of theoretical controversies.
