ABSTRACT
Altogether 210 clients fall into this group: 123 (59 per cent) were seen jointly, forty-four (21 per cent) were seen by CPNs forty-two (20 per cent) were seen by social workers. Nearly all brief clients (94 per cent) were seen in under a week, and 89 per cent involved either one or two interviews. The division of labour enables us to examine two essential questions: is joint work in any sense ‘superior’ to individual work-do clients receive a better service? and are there any differences in the way social workers and CPNs work?
