Abstract
Joint training and practice in the field of learning disability is a growing phenomenon. This paper offers a philosophical basis to a debate on the representation of the concept of interprofessionalism. It takes a broad view, looking at professional culture, user participation, professional and personhood values and locations of power in order to present a ‘genealogy’ in the complexity of service provision. Arguments are made to develop an empirical base in order to further understand joint practices and thought, particularly around the language and meaning of the concept of collaboration.Keywords
