“…The CLIENT 1 program has as a general background several diverse, but nevertheless related, lines of research: (a) guidance information retrieval programs (e.g., Tiedeman, Davis, Durstine, Ellis, Fletcher, Landy, & O'Hara, 1970), (b) question-answering natural language programs (e.g., Winograd,197 l), (c) personality model simulations that are not interactive (e.g., Loehlin, 1968;Tompkins, & Messick, 1963), (d) programs using computational linguistics to simulate therapeutic interviewing (e.g., Weizenbaum, 1966), (e) simulations of human problemsolving (e.g., Newel1 & Simon, 1972), and (0 interview simulations using interactive personality models (e.g., Bellman, Friend, & Kurland, 1966;Colby, Weber, & Hilf, 1971;Starkweather, Kamp, & Monto, 1967. ) These various lines of research differ among themselves and with CLIENT 1 with respect to their natural language handling capability, the extent to which they are interactive, and their inclusion of personality models and problem-solving features.…”

CLIENT 1 is an interactive program that was designed to simulate client behavior in an initial interview and to provide a standardized environment for training and research on counselor problem-solving strategies. Through interaction with the computerized client, counselors attempt to facilitate client movement toward the goal of verbalizing a specific problem statement. Client movement is a function of the appropriateness and accuracy of counselor statements, the threat value associated with both client and counselor statements, the strength of the relationship between the counselor and client, and an index of counselor expertise. The uses of the simulation in counselor education and research are discussed.People are confronted with problems when they want something and do not know immediately what series of actions they can and should take to get it (Newel1 & Simon, 1972). Within the broad framework of counseling, the concept of a problem takes on a hierarchy of meanings. At the first level of meaning, clients can be seen as having problems-they are confronted with personal, social, educational, and vocational dilemmas for which solutions are desired but for which steps toward the solution are unclear. At the next level of meaning, counselors have problemsspecifically, they are confronted with the problem of determining the appropriate series of actions through which they can help their clients resolve the problems they present. Finally, as counselor educators and supervisors, we may be seen as being confronted with the problem of James W .

The objective of this research was to create a general computer program which simulates client behavior in an initial counseling interview..Through interaction with the counselor, a programmed client progresses toward the croal of verbalizing a special problem statement..Client movement is a function of the simulated variables; threat value of counselor and client statements, strength of the relationship, and an index of counselor competence.. The simulation project is valuable as a means of training and evaluation in counselor education and in studying counselor cognitive processes..It also provides an opportunity to test the sufficiency of an explicit set of theoretical constructs for explaining client behavior.

“…A collection of such decisions which determines behavior over a given period of time may be called a policy. In other words, a policy is a settled course of procedure which determines what decision is to be made on the basis of the available information pattern, Bellman, et al 5 Obviously an optimal policy from a public health point of view is one which maximizes health services in a given community within the framework of a limited budget.…”

Is a computer-based health service system a feasible policy for a health department? The author concludes that it is not a substitute for generally accepted minimum staffing requirements for basic health services, but that such a system can enable health workers to do a better job in the community. Plan of Discussion THIS paper introduces the concept of a computer network system as an administrative and a communication tool of a community health service. First, we examine the question of how to combine several computers to form a computer network system and attempt to show how such a network system can be utilized to improve the functions of a community health service. Then we examine the question of using a computer as an administrative tool within a health department. Moreover, the problem of automatic reporting and retrieval of health records is considered. The problem of automatic characterization and the identification of a community is also examined. Examples are given to illustrate many of the concepts introduced. Finally, we attempt to evaluate the computer-based health service system to determine if such a system is a feasible policy for the health department.
