title: A case study in community agency visitation.
abstract: Two staff members of a mental health center were asked a series of questions about the role of a community welfare agency, its personnel, and their functions, both before and after one of them visited and worked within the agency. Changes in factor scores of a semantic differential to various staff and agency concepts were also assessed. The visitant showed considerable change, suggesting increased identification with the agency, its personnel, and its goals. The evaluation procedure itself appeared to make the visitation more effective.
