physician (PCP), psychiatrist, other mental health professionals, and a case manager work as a team to treat a client. Collaborative Care and the Future of Assessment

The future of assessment in counseling is uncertain but recent trends may give us an idea about what is to come.

To prepare for this discussion, read the information presented in the resources on collaborative care. Reflect on how collaborative care would impact the sharing of information, in particular, focus on how this would impact sharing assessment results across specialty areas (between counselors and social workers, counselors and psychiatrists, counselors and primary care physicians, etc.). What ethical issues might this present? How could this sharing of information and collaboration facilitate or hinder flourishing. Give ideas on t he potential impact of collaborative care on the sharing of information and any ethical issues that might arise as a result. Include your insights on how this might facilitate or hinder flourishing.
