Too close for comfort: Attending to boundaries in associate relationships
No full textIn any relationship with an organization as an external consultant or ‘outsider’, I can at times find myself behaving as an ‘insider’.

Continuity of care for people with non-psychotic disorders
No full textBackground:
Service users with non-psychotic disorders are rarely studied. How continuity of care functions for this group is unknown.
Aims:
To compare users of community mental health teams with non-psychotic disorders to those with psychotic disorders in terms of demographic and illness characteristics, continuity of care and clinical and social functioning.
Methods:
Service users with non-psychotic disorders (N = 98) were followed up for one year and compared to 180 service users with psychotic disorders. Continuity of care factors were tested for association with user, illness and service variables.
Results:
Service users with non-psychotic disorders experienced more care transitions, but there were no differences in team practices in relation to these two different groups.
Conclusion:
The underlying concepts of continuity of care derived from users with psychotic disorders appear to be meaningful for users with non-psychotic disorders. Their greater likelihood of experiencing disruptive and distressing care transitions needs to be addressed
