“…Those findings fit well with a broader thrust coming from the field of psychotherapy to translate global effectiveness questions into studies of specific matchings among help-agents, approaches, and client attributes that might optimize intervention outcomes (Bergin & Suinn, 1975;Gomes-Schwartz, Hadley, & Strupp, 1978;Kiesler, 1971). Our particular need was to develop more effective approaches for acting-out children.…”

The article presents a panoramic view of the evolution and growth of the Primary Mental Health Project (PMHP), an innovative schoolbased program for early detection and prevention of school-maladjustment problems. It consists of 3 major sections: (a) a historical account of PMHP, identifying the problems it seeks to address, its rationale, its beginnings, and its growth over the years; (b) a description of how the current PMHP program works and of the program modifications that have been developed to meet practical problems; and (c) a consideration of PMHP's accomplishments and contributions, as well as implications for future steps to promote the well-being and adjustment of young (school) children.The Primary Mental Health Project (PMHP) is an innovative program for early detection and prevention of school-adjustment problems (Cowen, Trost, Lorion, Dorr, Izzo, & Isaacson, 1975). It started 23 years ago in response to the fact that the incidence of school maladjustment in young children far exceeded mental health's ability to provide help. Through the use of early-detection and screening devices, which PMHP has developed over the years, the program identifies primary grade children with early school-adjustment problems. Once identified, those youngsters receive prompt, effective helping services from carefully selected, trained, nonprofessional child-aides. The latter, working under close professional supervision, increase tenfold the number of children served. The project addresses behavior and adaptive problems (e.g., aggression and withdrawal) that interfere with effective learning. Program evaluation studies have shown that the approach helps many young children to a richer, more productive school experience. As a result of PMHP's active and recent dissemination, the project model has been adopted by some 50 + school districts and 300 + schools across the country.When all is said and done, perhaps PMHP's most distinctive features are that it has survived 23 years and, in the process, has perceptibly influenced how school mental health services are conceptualized and delivered. Looking retrospectively at PMHP's cumulated writings, one sees that individual papers ad-

“…One fundamental component of a good, productive relationship seems to be that both the client and therapist like each other (Gomes- Schwartz, Hadley, & Strupp, 1978). In relationships marked by warmth, closeness, and a sense that the therapists were involved and cared about the clients, clients were more likely not to terminate prematurely (Fiester & Rudestam, 1975;Saltzman, Luetgert, Roth, Creaser, & Howard, 1975); to be satisfied with the ongoing therapy process (Orlinsky & Howard, 1978);…”

Systematic assessments of the influence of interpersonal relationship variables on outcome are lacking in investigations of smoking treatments. The present study undertook an investigation of the influence of group cohesiveness on two multicomponent behavioral treatments of smoking. Subjects (41 women and 31 men) were randomly assigned to treatment according to a 2 (enriched vs. standard cohesiveness) X 2 (satiation vs. nicotine fading) factorial design. Enriched cohesiveness subjects not only scored higher on several indexes of cohesion but tended to be more successful over a short term in modifying their smoking behavior.

The associations between prognostic factors and outcome with four treatment methods for phobic disorders were studied in 103 women. The prognostic factors were sociodemographic, intelligence, personality, early interpersonal relations, aspects of previous and current mental disorder, and intensity of symptoms at start of treatment. All patients received basal therapy, which implied information, advice on exposure in vivo, and anxiolytics. One group received this treatment only (B), while others received supplementary treatment, with therapist-directed prolonged exposure in vivo (PE), supportive therapy (ST) of dynamic type, or relaxation (R). The patients were treated for 3 months, with a 9-month follow-up period. Factors associated with a better outcome were: PE: greater needs for succourance and lower avoidance; ST: higher social class, better relations between parents and with father during childhood, inner conflicts as cause, and lower levels of free anxiety; R: satisfaction with contact when aged 15, bereavement as a cause, and lower levels of several symptoms; B: greater needs for order, stress at the onset, shorter duration and satisfaction with work. There were thus interactions between prognostic factors and type of treatment. The prognostic factors should be taken into account in the choice and design of treatment.
