title: Pragmatic notes on community consultation with agencies.
abstract: Some brief suggestions are offered on the implementation of consulting programs in mental health to community agencies, clinics, and schools. Although atheoretic in kind, these notes may help the beginning consultant to handle with some degree of skill what is currently a fashionable, chaotic, and dimly understood situation. Stress is laid upon the value to the consultant inherent in careful observations to make an explicit contract with defined and evaluated ends.
