The Value of Interdisciplinary Teamwork

Different perspectives on the same person can make the difference in the therapeutic process.

Mental health is a profoundly complex field, encompassing emotional, cognitive, relational, physical, and even social dimensions. No single professional can fully address all of this complexity alone. That is why, at SPES, we place great importance on interdisciplinary collaboration, bringing together psychotherapists, doctors, and other

healthcare professionals to work side by side.


Each discipline offers a unique contribution: the clinical perspective may highlight relevant medical factors; the psychotherapeutic perspective focuses on emotions, bonds, and relational patterns; while other professionals bring complementary insights. When these areas of expertise are in dialogue, the understanding of a situation becomes richer

— and the intervention more tailored and effective.

 

This teamwork is not simply about sharing information. It requires an attitude of mutual listening, respect for one another’s knowledge, and a genuine commitment to building strategies together. For those seeking support, it translates into an experience of being seen not in fragments, but as a whole person, with many dimensions that deserve attention.



In practice, this interdisciplinary approach ensures that the focus is never only on the symptom, but on the person’s entire story, context, and needs. We believe this is the most ethical and effective path: placing collaboration at the center, so that care can truly be comprehensive.
