Collaboration, family

A collaborative family-provider fi amework offers potential for empowering families and enhancing clinician satisfaction. When families are involved in clinical services, they are more likely to feel that their children s needs are being met and that there are improved outcomes (Farmer et al., 1997). Family involvement in mental health care has been linked to improved service coordination (Koren et al., 1997) and to the reduction of stress on the family system (Farmer et al., 1997). While the literature related to successful models of family-provider collaboration is increasing, overall, the research related to the topic is limited, leaving many basic questions unanswered (e.g., How should families best be engaged and involved in treatment How does family collaboration with the therapist impact overall outcomes at the individual, child, and systems level ) (Cheney Osher, 1997 Simpson et al., 1999). 

The C-nor-D-homosteroid rearrangement was discovered by Hirschmann and co-workers at the time that Wintersteiner and his collaborators established that the steroid alkaloids jervine and veratramine incorporate a 14 (1312) abeo-nng system. This was the predecessor of the family of simultaneous ring contraction-expansion reactions. Solvolysis of the 12j5-methanesulfonate (144a) gives mainly the kinetic reaction product, the C-nor-D-homo exocyclic olefin (145) along with some 13(17)-ene (146a). 

The Complete Basis Set (CBS) methods were developed by George Petersson and several collaborators. The family name reflects the fundamental observation underlying these methods the largest errors in ab initio thermochemical calculations result from basis set truncation. 

We wish to pay tribute to the memories of Professor Martin Nelson and Dr Tony Stephenson who died after completion of their manuscripts, and we wish to convey our deepest sympathies to their families. We are grateful to their collaborators for finalizing their contributions for publication. 

Integration of the clinician s and the patient s perspectives, essential for a good therapeutic alliance, should be based on an empathetic rapport that reflects mutual respect and interest, and human feeling between the clinician and the patient. The two of them (with the collaboration of the family as needed) should attempt to reach a joint understanding, as far as possible, of the clinical problems and their contextualization, the patient s positive factors, and expectations about restoring and promoting health. 

The collaboration between mental health services and members of families of people with mental illness and their other carers is of essential importance in developing a useful and successful mental health service. Collaboration with carers is not in existence in many of the Third World countries, and in places where it exists it is at present often restricted to a one-way communication of instruction of what the carers should do to assist in the realization of the treatment plan established by the medical practitioners. Advice from carers and information about the effects of treatment can both be of great value in the treatment of individual patients and in deciding the best use of medications and other treatments in health services in general. 

The Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA) is a large, multi-center, family-based study of the general U.S. population Approximately 11,000 people have been interviewed and extensively characterized, and genomic... 

A framework can abstract the description of a generic type, a family of mutually dependent types, a collaboration, a refinement pattern, the modeling constructs themselves, and even a bundle of fundamental generic properties (associative, commutative, and so on). Frameworks are themselves built on other frameworks. At the most basic level, the structure of frameworks represents the basis for the organization of all models. 

A model framework describes a family of groups of types. A collaborating group of types can be created by parameterizing the template. (See Chapter 9, Model Frameworks and Template Packages.)... 

The EU funded Interpro project is a collaboration between many of the domain family databases and the SWISS-PROT sequence database. The Interpro collaboration aims to have a centralized annotation resources to reduce the amount of duplication between the database re-... 

Abstract Over 200 plant extracts were prepared from different family plants of rich flora of Turkey, in a frame of international collaborative project Bioactive Turkish Plant Constitnents . The plants were chosen randomly and/or partly based on their folkloric uses which belonged to 40 distinct families growing in Aegean and Marmara region, and their extracts were screened for their DNA damaging activity as well as for their human ovarian cytotoxic activity.
