Abstract

Medical doctors, psychologists and social workers are often collaborating in health care units for substance addiction. In a survey answered by 141 persons with any of these professions, they communicated somewhat disparate views on the causes of addiction, and how our knowledge of addiction could be best promoted. At the same time, they expressed a demand for intensified forms of inter-professional team collaboration. There seems to be a need to improve the understanding and acceptance between the different professions.
