The multidisciplinary team and its functioning have been much debated. Such teams have been encouraged as a basis for good clinical practice. However, exactly how these teams should function has gone through various phases. With the advent of family therapy, some teams have experienced a process of crisis and the dismantling of more traditional ways of working. This has brought about a lot of disillusionment within teams and also a challenge to medical authority in the team. Unfortunately, it seems that family therapy as a treatment approach has been confused with the organisation of a multidisciplinary team. Considerable stress has been produced in the process as each professional has vied for a position and role in the team.
