The present study examined the association between professional behaviors in assessment process and professional activities for discovery of strengths of mentally ill individuals in the psychiatric social workers' practice. As a result, I found that `facilitation of client's self-determination' and `data collection concerning crisis intervention' in assessment practice were strongly associated with `improving client's strengths in an individual level,' `developing a sense of citizen rights in a community level,' `creating network in a community level,' and `developing appropriate environments among a client' in discovery activities. In addition, `observation of group work dynamics' `performing for creating trust with a clients' in assessment practice were associated with `forming mutual support among clients in a group level' in discovery activities.

Provision of high-quality care to support the independent living of people with psychiatric disabilities has been strongly emphasized in the field of mental health care. Cooperation among specialistsis said to be essential in this regard. In 2009, Setsuko Sakae et al. summed up their previous studies on such cooperation, defining the concept of cooperation as "a process of interaction between persons and organizations who share a common goal, in which they establish a cooperative relationship and work together to achieve their goal." This study targets clarification of relevant factors of cooperation. The authors consequently focused on the hospital discharge facilitation program, in which cooperation among organizations is considered to be indispensable. As the surveying method, a semi-structured interview was designed for the seven secretariats in charge of the program. Interview questions were about promotional/ obstructive factors of cooperation. As a result, the following four types of factors were extracted in relation to cooperation: (1) personal factors (empirical knowledge and motivation); (2) team factors (common goal, mutual respect /understanding, shared information, shared values in working toward the goal, flexible role allotment, and presence of a leader); (3) environmental factors (societal resources and laws and systems for mental health). To promote cooperation in the future, client involvement as well as discussions from the perspective of professional education will be required.
