- Abstract
- In this paper, we argue for reconsidering the design of scientific research on mental healthcare reforms, by integrating key learnings from organisational theories. Organisation theorists showed that talks are constitutive of organising process, particularly in complex environments where multiple interests, ideologies, and types of expertise are coexisting. The importance of talk in re-organising work processes, particularly interprofessional meetings, has been particularly emphasised in mental health services. We analysed the impact of inter-professional meetings on the reorganisation of mental healthcare in Belgium by relying on qualitative methods and the principle of triangulation: inter-professional meetings n=72 were observed as part of two scientific researches[1]; the meeting participants were interviewed n=57 and interview and observation data were confronted to documents linked to the observed meetings.
