“…This contrasts quite favorably with reports in the literature of therapy in which clients were seen for considerably longer periods of time. Halpern (1974), summarizing almost 10 years of child guidance services, reported that families are seen on the average of 10 sessions with about the same degree of success as has been demonstrated with our adolescent population, and Reisman and Kissel (1968), studying families seen for outpatient psychotherapy in our Child Guidance Clinic, reported that 70% of the families found the service helpful. However, they were seen on the average for 49 sessions.…”

“…The impetus for change has been multif aceted. The community mental health movement ushered clinicians out of their offices and into the community, hospitals, and homes (Halpern, 1974) and required clinicians to accommodate to a broader range of life-styles and conflicts. Time has become accelerated (Toffler, 1970) and may even be running out.…”

A consecutive unselected series of 200 children referred for psychiatric consultation to an Italian Child Guidance Center is included in this study. All diagnoses were made in accord with the third edition of the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" (DSM III). Functional enuresis was the most common psychiatric disturbance (15 percent), followed by developmental reading disorder (14.5 percent) and mild mental retardation (12.5 percent). There was no case of attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (hyperkinetic syndrome). All depressions were consequences of another disorder and remitted when the child received attention and care. In 20.5 percent of cases no psychiatric diagnosis was made and the child apparently had been referred because of emotional problems in the parent.

Problem children who are diverted from public school programming into a private psychoeducational day facility in a community mental health center are followed up in a 10-year study to determine the rate of return to regular classes. The evidence points to a successful reintegration into public schools for the great majority of students. A philosophy for mainstreaming which supports the need for proper preparation of children for public school reentry is basic to effective management.
