Abstract

There is an evident lack of theoretical and empirical literature on the special issues of consultation to anti-poverty agencies. Three such issues are examined in relation to Schein's group process consultation model and Caplan's consultee-centered administrative consultation model. The importance of clinical skills for such work is apparent in the need for the consultant to respond to the interaction among intra- and interpersonal dynamics of anti-poverty workers and the oppressive forces of poverty in which they live and work. As such, the dichotomy presented by Reiff (1971) between the community mental health professional (emphasis on the person) and the community psychology professional (emphasis on the system) seems artificial.
