The opinion article presents the hazards of teamwork. Teams, like institutions, may provide a protective mantle for their members to hide under, reducing the likelihood of direct interaction or ...communication with patients, who become increasingly isolated in the Kafkaesque process. The ultimate argument offered to defend the conjoint acting out of a dichotomy between the firm directive and the gentle understanding attitude is that no one person could embody both, if the situation required it. The article also illustrates a more general hazard of teamwork a hazard of team spirit. Team spirit connotes a will to win. It thrives in a context of rivalry and when a common enemy is perceived. The resulting downgrading of independent work would hurt any profession or any team or organization, but the loss in the mental health field would be uniquely crippling because of the very special and irreplaceable contribution such work offers in clinical pursuits.

The development of a school mental health service is traced through (a) the growth of collaboration between educators and mental health personnel, (b) the development among staff of a sense of new ...identity and (c) a gradual formulation of a conceptual framework of key principles and means of positive promotion of mental health for all school children.

Comments on an article Ted Clark and Dennis T. Jaffe (see record 2013-41292-014). The program described in Clark and Jaffe's paper, by commission, vitiates all of these safeguards. The services seem ...designed more to help the server than the served, to demand acceptance of this theoretical approach and the abandoning of any other than this politicizing alternative masquerading in the name of service. By all means criticize the establishment, point out loopholes in service, champion the downtrodden or deprived. But do it with some evidence that your alternatives are better or at least as good.
