In my opinion, the principles of relationship lies
on the individual type of relationship in health and social care. We meet people from
different walks in our life. We meet people for different reasons on different
occasions. Therefore, principles are different from one type of relationship to
another type of relationship. Although introduction or start up is the main
basic principle for all types of relationship, but end of relationship may not
be the principle for some types of relationship. Relationship can be broken down
temporarily between participants (depending on factors), but may commence again
sooner or later. An inherent (Genetic or DNA whichever you prefer to call) relationship
can be deteriorated but never ends. According to law, rights prevail between or
among participants even though relationship has ended. We do not terminate relationship
declaring in a piece of paper. We just do not continue a relationship due to the
factor influence deterioration.
In health and social care, there are many different
forms of relationship we observe. They are –
·
Personal
relationship
·
Professional
relationship
·
Inherent
relationship
·
Social
Relationship
Above mentioned relationships, may depend on
relationship objectives between participant. An inherent relationship may not require
following reciprocity in order to maintain the relationship where as a personal
relationship or social relationship may depend only on reciprocity.
