Partnerships in Research, Clinical, and Educational Settings

Bibace, Dillon, and Dowes articulate diverse aspects of partnerships, comparing them to traditional realtionships between professionals and patients, students, and research participants. Neither the editors nor the various contributors subscribe to one interpretation of Partnerships. Instead they subscribe to the assumption that there are multiple interpretations. These differences are based on many factors such as a professional's primary identity as clinician, teacher, or researcher. The possibilities presented will aid readers in enacting partnership relationships in their own settings.
