Decision-making and Professional Responsibility in Complex Client Cases
Decision-making and Professional Responsibility in Complex Client Cases was a project that put an interactional perspective on interprofessional team work in Danish rehabilitation teams

The aim of the thesis has been to examine decision-making and professional responsibility in complex client cases in the welfare-to-work setting of Danish rehabilitation teams. This is done by examination of the following two research questions:
How de rehabilitation teams do decision making
How are professional and institutional responsibilities managed in team decision-making in welfare- to work?
The questions are examined from a constructivist and discursive perspective that understand team decision-making as interactionally accomplished and negotiated achievements. Decision-making in the rehabilitation teams are examined through fieldwork in three municipalities, resulting in observations and audio recordings of 97 team meetings and 19 interviews with team members. The analytical part of the thesis consists of four separate analyses, written up in four articles.
Defended on 8 March 2018.
