“…The University of Southern California Parental Altitude Survey (25)-this has been used in previous studies by the Program Director (Balser, et al, 1955(Balser, et al, , 1957. Where possible, it will be used in the proposed program to obtain the parents' estimate of their child's school adjustment; this will permit a comparison of parents', teachers' and students' ratings.…”

“…The few studies in the literature on mental health workshops with teachers (Balser, Brown, Brown, Joseph, & Phillips, 1955;Balser, Brown, Brown, Laski, & Phillips, 1957;Cutler, 1961) report only on the attitude change in the teachers and not on any subsequent change in the students. It remains to be shown that this change in teachers can be translated into better student adjustment.…”

JOHN ATCHLEYlems. The psychiatrist should then get to know the faculty, among other reasons, in order to educate them as to the limitations of our oversold field. I believe that the psychiatrist should work closely with the headmaster and school physician if possible, and that, within the limits of confidentiality, these two, and the parents, should be kept informed. I feel that, when possible, boys should be seen away from the school grounds and that interviews should be financed by parents, not by the schools, except in unusual situations.With all this in mind I do feel that there is a place for psychiatry in the prep school, and I do not feel totally discouraged, for this is a new field, growing rapidly, and it should gain in effectivity as the result of considerate thought and the sharing of information.

It has been said that medicine is the only profession which seeks to "put itself out of business"--that is, which has as its highest goal the prevention of those conditions for which the treatment is its stock in trade. There can be no serious argument with this preventive ideal: the conditions on which health practitioners focus their professional attention are, with the sole exceptions of pregnancy and childbirth, theoretically unnecessary and--apart from the issue of "secondary gain"--distinctly disadvantageous to those who develop them. This statement is as true of conditions which bring people to the offices of mental health practitioners as it is of conditions which bring them to physicians. It is my purpose in this paper to examine the concept of prevention as it applies to mental and emotional disorders and to assess the current state of allegedly preventive professional activities.
