“…In developing mental health consultant-trainer roles in public schools, the St. Louis County group began with observation, used a series of conferences to explore perceptions of needs and definition of roles, and to develop a provisional action plan, with a "built-in" evaluation technique. The results were a program with steady growth but a wide variation in need perception, consultant role definition, and action plans, including, in a few cases, the withdrawal of the consultant, (Buchmueller and Domke, 1956;Gildea, et. al., 1958;and Glidewell, 1955).…”

“…Moreover, certain other parental attitudes which were previously believed by these researchers to relate directly to the children's mental health-such as acceptance of responsibility for behavior of one's children-were subsequently found to be highly related to socioeconomic status. When the latter variable was held constant, the predicted correlation between mother's attitude and child's behavior vanished (15).…”

“…A recently completed investigation (15,16,17) of the relation between parental attitudes and children's adjustment in St. Louis has yielded negative findings in this regard. Employing a battery of questions similar to those previously validated by Shoben (56) in his study of juvenile delinquents, Gildea, Glidewell, et al attempted to relate mothers' attitudes toward child rearing to the level of adjustment shown in their children's classroom behaviors.…”

“…Comprehensive summaries of procedures aimed at the early identification of children with learning and behavioral disorders of a developmental nature were given by Bower (I960), Gildea and others (1958), and Ullman (1957). Bower pointed out the social and value conflicts inherent in such programs and the strategic position of the school in the early identification of emotional problems in children.…”

Klein pinned down four kinds of emotional stability: (a) general stability, (b) specific stability, (c) inherited stability, and (d) acquired stability. He was particularly concerned with the ways in which acquired stability could be used in the organism's adjustment to potentially stressful situations.Such stability would be acquired by organisms which have had experience with stress-inducing agents and in the process have developed successful nonillness-producing ways of coping with the stress. In this conceptual framework of positive mental health, it might be possible to discover situations in which small amounts of stress could render individuals increasingly able in the future to tolerate greater degrees of stress of a similar nature. For example, sibling rivalry, often regarded as a circumstance contributing to a variety of behavioral and emotional disorders, could be thought to serve as a potential immunity-producing experience that would help one to manage stress accompanying competitive relationships. One could hypothesize that a home in which there is reasonable and affectionate access to parental guidance would appear to offer one the opportunity for learning how to cope constructively with stress-inducing situations.Smith (1961), who has considered the conceptual problems of mental health, commented on the shift from exclusive concern with mental illnesses toward an interest in positive mental health. Such a shift, however, has not been accompanied by any real gains in research or scientific understanding. Mental health or illness is still concerned with the evaluation of the personality in terms of criteria that are value oriented. 1 Values, which are inherent in 4 definitions of mental illness, are taken for granted primarily because there is little disagreement about them.'It is natural to assume that something is wrong with a person who behaves "strangely" or whose thinking is disordered. What is "right" about a person with positive mental health is another matter. The variety and breadth of values that underlie such definitions are rarely acceptable or explicit to all. Consequently, in his reconsideration of the. problem of mental health, Smith questioned the bases with respect to which mental health has been conceptualized.Why has there been an increased emphasis on defining concepts of positive mental health?
