Creating new consultation programs in community mental health centers: analysis of a case study. 1977

C Cherniss

A primary prevention program, initiated in a community mental health center, never became fully operational. Analysis suggests that failure to include recipients in initial planning, an unrealistic time table, insufficient institutional support for innovation, the project leader's organizational marginality, and the institutional constraints created by commitment to direct treatment of troubled individuals were factors that contributed to the project's failure. Several recommendations are presented. The most novel and important one is that systems-oriented, preventive mental health work should be based in a separate, distinct institution.
