Abstract

Examination of the evaluation sample and the outcome data from the Fort Bragg Demonstration Project suggests that the children served were mildly disturbed, were atypical of those served in most public mental health clinics, spent less than optimal time in the new services developed, and were judged as making considerable progress with minimal treatment regardless of age or level of judged psychopathology. The use of normative outcome measures in a pre-post design was considered a major reason for failure to find any significant differences between differently treated children.
