“…In contrast to other child guidance clinics that became mental health centers through extended growth (Claman & Striklin, 1971;Rosenblum & Ottenstein, 1965;Weiland & Berman, 1969), the Rochester clinic gave up administrative control to a group not particularly identified with the philosophy and service aims of children's clinics. As a result, with the loss of its autonomy the division was quickly subjected to a system of competitive cooperation with adult services.…”

“…Most of the newlyestablished community-bound facilities seem to concentrate on case finding and crisis-oriented treatments.

During the past few years of rapid social transformations child psychiatry has shown signs of deep shifts and readjustments. Probably the most important single develop ment has been the rather sudden and definite widening of the circle of practice and interest from the individual child and the family to the community institutions and the social system at large. This development began gradually. The influence of society and culture on mental illness has been the subject of many studies over a number of years. These studies and the theoretical interest they initiated set the stage. Then the great social turbulence of the sixties, the rapid decay of our envi ronment and the explosive movements of repressed social groups forced upon our awareness the issue of the sick community and the urgency for appropriate action.This action began at all levels and has led to radical changes in thinking and at titudes. Decentralization and organization of facilities on a regional basis, removal of services from the hospital to non-medical community institutions, massive preventive and educative programs -all reflected the new awareness that the target is not the individual but rather the disabled and dis abling environment.These changes make heavy demands on the child psychiatrist. Originally associated with the pediatrician in the treatment of the child, he had recently moved into the general psychiatric unit as part of a larger team for the treatment of the family and the teaching of comprehensive psychiatry. Now the child .psychiatrist is asked to change affiliations and identity once again and to move into the community itself as a consultant and integrator of the most diverse services.

“…As we began looking into the early history of clinical services for children, it became apparent that those services had great pertinence for the contemporary community mental health movement. Embedded in the community, growing out of social need, and concerned with prevention, the pioneer models of clinical service demand close examination precisely because our predecessors began with approaches the community mental health movement is just now rediscovering (Sarason et al, 1966;Rosenblum & Ottenstein, 1965). Just as the earlier services were shaped by the nature of the social problems at the time, so are contemporary services developing from a certain social context.…”
