The mental health center's role in school consultation: toward a new model.

The 1965 Boston Conference on the Education of Psychologists for Community Mental Health recommended a broad movement into the field of education and the development of the consultation function in an array of settings. The coordinator of that conference--at which the term "community psychology" was coined--presents a model for extending and redefining the traditional mental health--school consultation model. In this model consultation that is reaction to an existent problem by the clinical "expert" is integrated with a comprehensive model of collaboration that moves in the direction of systems change. The concept is presented through a case history of successful school--mental health center collaboration, a documentation of a full consultation service program to a large school system.

Advertising—A Critic's View

Has advertising degenerated into wasteful and sometimes deceptive promotion of brand rivalry? Since the author of the present article says, “Yes,” it might be well to point out that an old-fashioned but still valid tenet is that a good marketing man must always try to learn about and understand another person's point of view. In this article, originally presented at the 1961 Boston Conference on Distribution (Colston E. Warne, “Advertising—A Critic's View,” Boston, International Marketing Institute, 1961, pp. 61–65), the author maintains that present-day advertising is featuring the irrational and the irrelevant, and is often employed as a means of consumer manipulation. For a different point of view, see the article that follows this one.

Communications Today and Tomorrow

Some recent remarks of Frederick R. Kappel, president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, may interest our readers. In these excerpts from a speech before the Boston Conference on Distribution on October 18, he describes high-speed machine-to-machine "talk" over the regular telephone network, satellite communications, and other developments in mass communication techniques whose socio-economic im plications are yet to be discerned.

DR. SAMUEL W. HAMILTON AND THE FOUNDING OF THE AMERICAN BOARD OF PSYCHIATRY AND NEUROLOGY, INC

Sm: In the March issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry I was interested in reading the article on “The Founding of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology,” established as a result of the conference held under the auspices of the Division of Psychiatric Education of The National Committee for Mental Hygiene, Inc. (now The National Association for Mental Health, Inc.). There is one name missing among those credited with the preparatory work of this Board, and if the authors (and the readers, too) were not aware of his participation it was due, I am sure, to his self-effacement. That person was the late Dr. Samuel W. Hamilton. In 1933 at the time preparations were being made to call this conference, Dr. Hainilton was the Acting Director of the Division of Psychiatric Education of The National Committee for Mental Hygiene. It was he who gathered the directories of the medical specialty boards then in existence as samples and prepared the materials used in the discussions at the Boston conference in May, 1933. It was he, too, who made the arrangements for this conference and invited the participants. Perhaps one should mention also, in this connection, the late Paul 0. Komora (Assistant Secretary of The National Committee for Mental Hygiene), who for 25 years worked closely with the American Psychiatric Association on various projects and was present at the first conference on psychiatric education, at which the desirability of the establishment of a specialty board in psychiatry and neurology was discussed. To Mr. Komora we are indebted for the excellent report of that meeting which is listed in the references at the end of the article “The Founding of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.”
