The aim of this study is to examine social worker’s experiences of collaboration within the Swedish individual and family care and to what extent staff turnover could affect this. This study will contribute to giving a better understanding of how complex collaboration is and which obstacles it surrounds. The study’s approach includes semi-structured interviews with eight social workers where four were family therapists and four were social workers at the child department. A composition of national and international research was used as a research overview together with organization theory and system theory to analyze the result. Conclusions of this study shows that collaboration in Swedish individual and family care is necessary both for the sake of the social workers but also for the client. According to the professionals who were interviewed, some factors which prevent a functional collaboration are: staff turnover, bad communication, different opinions, lacking relationships and routines. Both units wish for a closer interaction where they can create consistent relations with who they work with. Staff turnover was a consistent obstacle which created more difficulties between the professionals and clients.
