Interdependence is a call for action to the human services - a prescription for a renewed sense of partnership. Recognizing the limitations of the medical/expert approaches that have dominated the care and treatment of the physically challenged, Interdependence suggests a blending of actions that are rooted in the values of self-esteem, and actualized in the community. This powerful presentation explores the goals of human services, how and why the medical/expert paradigm has not done the job, and then introduces the interdependent paradigm as an alternative approach to human service.
