Case Management Issues. Several Case Vignettes from Dinamika Centre for Psychotherapy, Counseling, and Psychiatric Consultations, Sofia

Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the case management issues from the narrow perspective of a community-based centre offering psychotherapy, counseling, and psychiatric consultations. The problems of professional cooperation, interorganizational coordination, and collaboration towards achievement of mutually accepted goals within shared responsibilities are discussed in the light of the case management role. Several case vignettes are presented showing the difficulties for care coordination and continuity of care. They are given as illustration for the role of case management in some of the referrals to the Centre when clients with complex needs are addressed. The possible benefits and outcomes case management could deliver for the individual clients and their families, and the community care system as a whole, are submitted for discussion, taking in consideration the infant age of case management practice in Bulgaria.
