Interdisciplinary Perspective1

Well-designed interdisciplinary exchanges undeniably enrich the practices of all those involved provided that transparency and non-hierarchical partnership are the order of the day. Reinforcing each person's specific skills is another necessary factor in fostering appropriate interdisciplinarity: the clearer the professional is about his or her competencies the more benevolent and welcoming he or she can be towards his or her partners to the greater benefit of the users whether students or patients. This book presents various clinical and theoretical interfaces: collaboration with teachers psychomotricians and parents. Cognitive complementarities and differences between verbal language and mathematical language language play with heraldry ethical issues and the psychodynamic interface. These are all areas of partnership that enrich both professionals and users strengthening their qualities as subjects while respecting their life processes and existential diversity. An optimal opportunity for adjustment and tuning for the benefit of all.
