Investigated the clinical decision‐making process among three groups of mental health workers. Ss were 32 paraprofessionals, 11 social workers, and 13 clinical psychologists. Each S conducted two simulated intake interviews and decided at certain times during the procedure whether the client was (a) in need of medcation; (b) suicidal; and (c) in need of hospitalization. Results revealed that the professionals displayed no greater consensus in their decisions than did the paraprofessionals. The professionals, especially the psychologists were more confident of their decisions, but only when it was appropriate (i. e., on questions on which they had reached some consensus). The psychologists were most consistent and focused in their manner of gathering information. The majority of Ss reached their decisions early in the interviews.

Because it is often the only source of help available on weekends, the hospital emergency room must function as a social as well as a medical agency. In this situation, the social worker can help patients who have psychosocial problems that the medical staff are not trained or willing to handle. This article identifies the types of difficult patients frequently encountered in the emergency room and the specialized social work techniques that can help them.
