Abstract
Health care practice with addicted mothers requires health professionals to both desire and acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes geared toward developing relationships that foster trust. In this article, nursing and social work theories are used to offer an integrated and interdisciplinary framework for building relationships with addicted mothers in health care settings. Embracing and utilizing caring/relational concepts serve as an impetus to the development of effective relationships with this vulnerable population.
