| Type Of Practice |
As one of the developers of the collaborative team model and a founder of IACP, I have devoted the last 18 years to the development and expansion of Collaborative Practice. My experience is that Collaborative Practice an ongoing learning process; my understanding continues to evolve and deepen as I practice, teach, write, and dialogue with other professionals. I have just finished co-authoring, with my husband Rod Nurse, COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE: A FAMILY CENTERED APPROACH. We hope it will be a good handbook for the collaborative mental health professional, as well as educate the broader mental health community. I look forward to continuing my work with collaborative professionals to help improve our teamwork and broaden our understanding of how best to assist couples and families make the difficult transition of divorce
