Abstract
The decision-making capabilities of the psychiatric team were examined with focus on whether a sample child patient should be placed in individual therapy, group therapy, or be terminated. A survey research approach was implemented in order to ascertain the relative degree of commonality in dispositional judgments rendered by team members (psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers) and whether differential criteria were employed for these three decision-making conditions.Keywords
