Abstract

The controversial and conflict-ridden component in community mental health centers can he frequently located in the consultation-education service. Since the social worker trained as a community organizer is a key professional in this arena, it is important that the nature of the relationship and the nature of the conflict be examined. The dual objectives of the program, treatment versus prevention, require a differential use of professionals. This paper will attempt to discuss these elements in order to clarify the appropriate utilization of the community organization method in community mental health centers.
