These Barriers include the myth of good intentions, Helplessness in the face of authority, Professional Boundaries and Professional Differences.

1. The Myth of Good intentions rests on the assumptions that getting along with everyone is a easy should just come naturally. Instead, as a team it should be conducted carefully so it can be processed and qualites, knowledge and skills for effective teamwork can be learned and refined.

2. Helplessness in the face of authority - Social workers practice in settings dominated by other professionals. Being the minority in the workplace might discourage a social worker from speaking up and actively contributing to a team. They should be encouraged to have confidence.

3. Professional Boundaries - specific negotiation is required to avoid misunderstanding. It's important to discuss and specify who will assume what role in getting things done.

4. Professional Differences - Professionals from different disciplines may assume different perspectives on the right way to do things. It is important to communicate as professionals to come to a conclusion on how all these differences will help the individual.
