Network News INTRODUCTION The correspondents delineate some of the issues in regard to reflecting teams. Selecting team members itself poses questions about whom to choose, either those who are like-minded theoretically, or others operating from different premises who will bring alternative perspectives to the discussion. One correspondent favours selecting those with whom one has previously worked, while others find an arbitrary choice of any available persons useful. The advantages of teams are seen to lie in their impact on clients, which is reported to be favourable, especially when the team's discussion occurs in the family's presence. However, it is also stated that such a format is less useful for younger clients, and more effective in the cases in which there are escalating patterns evident. The question of the selection of casesfor team work is thus raised, and may warrant further discussion. One correspondent clarifies also that the reflecting process is a format for therapy, not a model, and that the team's reflecting process is informed by the team's theoretical ideas, as well as by the interview's content.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION The correspondents delineate some of the issues in regard to reflecting teams. Selecting team members itself poses questions about whom to choose, either those who are like-minded theoretically, or others operating from different premises who will bring alternative perspectives to the discussion. One correspondent favours selecting those with whom one has previously worked, while others find an arbitrary choice of any available persons useful. The advantages of teams are seen to lie in their impact on clients, which is reported to be favourable, especially when the team's discussion occurs in the family's presence. However, it is also stated that such a format is less useful for younger clients, and more effective in the cases in which there are escalating patterns evident. The question of the selection of casesfor team work is thus raised, and may warrant further discussion. One correspondent clarifies also that the reflecting process is a format for therapy, not a model, and that the team's reflecting process is informed by the team's theoretical ideas, as well as by the interview's content.
