“…(2) "community caretakers" who are essentially invisible since they are usually ignored in relation to their role as change agents such as bartenders and hairdressers (Moed & Muhich, 1972); and (3) paraprofessionals who could be trained as mediators of change. There is currently a great waste of potential mediators.…”

This paper briefly reviews the original concept of the community mental health movement; points to ways in which current service delivery systems deviate from this; offers and alternative framework for service delivery, that is, a behavioral model; and argues that its implementation would move community services closer to this conception. The implications of this model for intervention in the natural environment as well as for transitional and prosthetic facilities are described and examples given of its use. Emphasis is placed on working in the natural environment whenever possible via the use and cultivation of significant others as well as via provision of training in self-directed behavior change in addition to the blending of case management with careful evaluation of service.

“…For instance, consultation is more effective when it is a collaborative undertaking, rather than a relationship between an "expert" and a "nonexpert" (Dinkmeyer & Carlson, 1973). Also, consultation works better when it is a continuing, long term relationship, rather than a once a month visit from a school psychologist or supervisor (Moed & Muhich, 1972). You probably have these things working for you already; that is, you are seen as an equal, as a permanent member of the faculty.…”

The 18-year Community Mental Health Center (CMHC) Program of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) was a complex and ambitious social experiment. This review identifies nine of the major goals of the program and examines available evaluative information on how well each was achieved. The most significant achievements of the program include increasing the quantity and range of public mental health services. Equality of access to services was also improved but all inequities were not removed. Problems continue to exist in funding services on the basis of need, in providing services to chronic clients, and in coordinating services. Prevention efforts suffered from uncertainties and perhaps overly optimistic expectations. The achievements of the program are currently threatened by third-party reimbursement mechanisms, the loss of federal leadership and oversight, and the loss of a community orientation in public mental health services. A great deal can be learned from the achievements and the shortfalls of the CMHC program that may be useful in state and federal mental health planning.
