Collaborative consultation in saudi arabi
What are the potential benefits of collaborative consultation in your country in the settings in which you operate, and what factors or circumstances hinder or undermine its use or efficacy ? What are the underlying assumptions of effective collaborative consultation ?
1. What are the differences between collaboration and consultation ?
– definitions ? (4 marks)
-definitions of consultation, collaboration and counselling ? (plus discussion)
e.g., consultation is a voluntary problem-solving process that can initiated and terminated by either the consultant or consultee. Collaboration is not the same as consultancy.
Collaboration involves pooling the expertise of the collaborators and using the information as the basis of problem solving.
– there are differences between consultancy, collaboration and counselling in terms of goals, how decisions are made, who owns the problem solving and any plan that comes out of it ?
–
2. What are important differences between different models of consultation ? (6 marks)
– what are some of the main ones?
– traditional expert model
Assess-diagnose-treatment or prescribed solutions
– mixed consultant-expert model
assists in clarifying problems (including assessment) but diagnosis diagnosis does not prescribe the solution
– facilitator / mentor model (consultee-centred)
– collaborative consultation model
open communication, negotiated processes, trust, co-planning, mutual agreements, joint responsibilities, shared problem solving,
adopting an ‘unknowing stance’ – doesn’t assume one knows
what the person’s problem is, nor the best way to help?
– I suggest you consider making references to models such as
Traditional Medical Consultation, ‘Conjoint Behavioral Consultation’,
‘Solution-Focused Consultee Centred Consultation’, and
Multi-Disciplinary Teams
3. What is a definition of collaborative consultation ? (4 marks)

4. What are the potential benefits of collaborative consultation in your country ? (5 marks)

person.
