Definition Of

A brief definition of the consultation process is presented. Four different consultation programs (to schools, to a public health unit, to agencies for the handicapped and to a welfare agency) are described and the value of this process in providing service is stressed. Some indication of how the consultation process can be taught is mentioned and the need for more research and evaluation is emphasized.

The Third

This paper provides an overview of the state of the art in consultation at the close of the third decade of its existence as a major form of delivering mental health services in the United States of America, and its somewhat later introduction in Victoria, Australia. Gallessich’s framework for consultation (1983, 1985), amongst others, is compared with the Victorian model. Issues raised include the need for consultants to understand the boundaries of consultation, its limitations, the state of its knowledge base and the uniquely Victorian contribution of a framework of several levels which enables an integration of the knowledge borrowed from a range of sources to assist in the improvement of its practice. A later paper to be published in ‘Children Australia’ looks at the steps in the consultation process.

Theoretical Issues

This is the second of two articles that present theoretical issues concerning mental health consultation. The first article looked at the question of what consultation is and how it differs from related processes such as supervision, therapy and staff development (Luntz 1999). This paper uses Kadushin’s six stage framework for social work consultation to look at some common issues which confront consultants in the process of mental health consultation as they establish, maintain and terminate consultative relationships with agencies and workers, giving an account of some of the complex issues which bedevil each of the stages.
