Community psychology can be seen as a vigorous, action-oriented movement. It is, however, still in the developmental stage characterized by the continued attempts to specify the goals and parameters of the field. The growing paraprofessional movement, shares similar origins to community psychology and appears to provide answers to some of the questions raised about the accomplishments of the practitioners of community psychology. Some of the stated goals of communit.y psychology are briefly reviewed and the paraprofessional movement is described in greater detail in an attempt to demonstrate the relationship between the accomplishments and trends of the paraprofemional movement and the goals espoused by community psychologists.The community psychology movement has, from its inception, been a pragmatic, action-oriented movement. It arose in response to serious concerns about the scope and quality of mental health services and delivery systems in this country. Because of this action-oriented, or "proactive" (Iscoe, 1974) orientation and because of the feeling that community psychologists possess a strong mandate, those involved in the community psychology movement have been very selfconscious of its direction and accomplishments.

“…To be sure, there are practical problems associated with trying to do justice to both individual-and systemslevel intervention skills within the constraints imposed by the relatively short period of time that students typically spend in a master's program.

Our impression, however, is that most of these programs tend to be dominated by fairly traditional clinical training.…”

A course in consultation is increasingly becoming part of the required graduate curriculum of counseling psychologists/counselors who are training for employment in mental health and educational settings. It seems that most textbooks on consultation are devoted to theory and practice, and most journal articles on the topic focus on research outcomes. There is also a paucity of literature regarding practices in methods of teaching consultants for mental health and educational settings. This article outlines a practical model for teaching consultation skills that includes didactic presentations, demonstrations, and simulation experiences.
