Abstract
The client-practitioner relationship is a key element in the change process directed toward enhancing the quality of working life. It may be viewed as an engagement between individuals, between an individual and a system, or between systems. This chapter explores some of the implications of viewing the client-practitioner relationship as an intersystem engagement, and provides a framework that may encourage the systematic development and testing of hypotheses in this area, as well as pointing to gaps in knowledge and to directions of research that are needed to close them.
