“…This study attempts to examine three models of consultation derived from Bindman's (1966) theory, giving careful considerations to defining similarities and differences between approaches. McClung and Stunden (1970) and Dworkin and Dworkin (1975) provide one solution to the problem of defining attitudinal and behavioral components across models. They developed a priori systems, whose parameters allow for gross conceptual comparisons of consultation models.…”

This study examined the effectiveness of three different consultation styles adapted from Bindman's typology. Consultees were nurses on eight wards in a state hospital for the retarded, who were assigned to Expert, Resource, and Process consultation groups plus a no-treatment control. Data on the number of new programs independently initiated by consultees were collected during a 6-week base line, 12-week consultation, and 6-week follow-up period. Results showed a general increase in number of programs initiated during the second half of the consultation period, with trends established there continued through the follow-up. Degree of change was directly related to the style of consultation: the Expert role proved no better than the control condition; the Resource and Process roles generated significant consultee activity, with the Process model generating the most programs in both experimental and follow-up periods.

“…Since Holmes's time the models of consultation have expanded significantly (Argyris, 1965;Berlin, 1964;Caplan, 1970;Lippitt, Watson, & Westley, 1958;Sashkin, 1974;Schein, 1969), and although some authors have tried to specify distinctions between models (Dworkin & Dworkin, 1975;Hirschowitz, 1973;Pryzwansky, 1974), few studies exist that document the processes and demonstrate the effectiveness of consultation.…”

Although consultation models have expanded, research demonstrating the effectiveness of consultation has lagged far behind, thus limiting the acceptance of consultation as an accountable method of intervention in schools. This study, which has implications for all "internals," presents a preventive consultation framework and demonstrates its effectiveness in working with school principals to change the climate of staff meetings.Undoubtedly, Sherlock Holmes is the best known of all modern consultants, and certainly he was the first person to apply the term &dquo;consulting&dquo; to his behavioral-science work. Holmes did his best to demystify the consultation process, to make it elementary to his biographer, Dr. Watson. With his advanced skills in nonverbal behavior, active listening, and experience clarification, Holmes developed the deductive process that he used successfully with a wide variety of clients. His well-documented interventions demonstrated clear results.Since Holmes's time the models of consultation have expanded few studies exist that document the processes and demonstrate the effectiveness of consultation.The purposes of this article are (a) to describe a model of consultation useful in school systems or for other organizations, (b) to present a conception of schools as a psychological context, and (c) to demonstrate a research design that assesses the effectiveness of consultation in an internal setting (an elementary school, in this case).

Collaborative consultation: A process for joint professional-consumer development of primary prevention programs

This paper contains a description of a mental health consultation process, Collaborative Consultation, by which professionals and nonprofessionals or paraprofessional community consumers (of psychological services) together can develop prevention services designed for eventual implementation by qualified consumers. The purposes of this paper are: (a) to describe the collaborative consultation process, both conceptually and through illustrative examples, (b) to demonstrate that collaborative consultation adheres to mental health consultation conventions, while combining features of “consultation” with those of “collaboration,” (c) to provide some guidelines on learning phases for professionals, and (d) to suggest approaches for extending and evaluating the collaborative consultation process.
