ABSTRACTThis qualitative study explores how psychiatric care is negotiated together with multiple health workers from different professional backgrounds and the client as a dialogical process. The purpose of this article is to study the dialogical process of building shared understanding in interprofessional client sessions in a psychiatric clinic.The data was collected from Finnish interprofessional psychiatric services teams. The research material collected consists of three video-recorded interprofessional client sessions. The data was analysed using narrative content analysis. The findings reveal that question-driven discussion reduces the dialogical space but, on the other hand, is needed to build shared understanding. Dialogical moments including confrontations could give room for multivoicedness in the interprofessional process. The assessment and the treatment plan for the client, i.e. the goals of the client process, were created session by session and jointly by all members of the interprofessional team.
