Abstract

In this study the reactions of a group of Public Health Nurse consultees to their former consultants has been described and an initial effort made at proposing a “consultuary” of consultant types. The paper discusses an attempt to explore the response to mental health consultation by a group of professionals who have received consultations from 10 consultants during an 11 year period.
