Abstract
A developmental framework is used to explore the process of collaboration between general and complementary medical practitioners in the British National Health Service, using conversations from a co-operative inquiry. It is argued that the conversations through the inquiry show the practitioner’s increasing capacity to work across diverse paradigmatic frames and strongly suggests that multidisciplinary collaboration is a matter of epistemology as well as of interpersonal competence and group development.Keywords
