AnnotationThe objective of this Canadian study was to demonstrate the role of social workers in dealing with the complex relationship and problem solving contexts typical of practice in multi-service geriatric care settings. The authors conducted a thematic analysis of the work of five social workers with five clients, their families and the professional healthcare team, and extracted common themes across cases that illustrate the nature and timing of the interventions depending on the particular relationship context. While there were problems and issues common across relationship contexts, intervention strategies that were essential for optimising client care and well-being were specific to resolving relationship conflicts in one or more of the identified relationship contexts.
