Abstract
Since most of us in rehabilitation work in interdisciplinary teams, we all have an idea of what they are. Good team functioning like love is a many splendored thing and like love is hard to define. However, we do know when we feel it. This chapter will discuss a variety of suggestions for individual staff members in a team to help strengthen and maintain their team and describe group activities that they can support and encourage. It will also discuss several ways of more formally training the staff as a whole in group functioning.
