Collaboration: A Social Work Practice Method

Although collaboration is ubiquitous to social work, this article is the first to consider “collaboration” as a unifying method for all fields of social work practice and as appropriate to current sociopolitical practice contexts. From interdisciplinary and social work literatures, the authors propose a definition fitting for social work practice and discuss necessary conditions, attributes, and phases, as well as a case example.
