The psychologist in the pediatrician's office: one approach to community psychology.
This paper describes a community psychology program that was based in a pediatrician's office in a rural community. Three broad categories of psychological problems were encountered: (1) emotional disturbance, (2) developmental delay in children, and (3) ineffective child management procedures used by parents. The advantages and the problems involved in using the pediatric office as a setting to provide primary mental health care to children and families are outlined.
