ABSTRACT
It is now possible to draw together some key elements of social workers’ and CPNs’ practice. Of course these observations relate to a CMHC setting. Although each will have distinctive characteristics, this was a particularly good example since it was both well established and possessed many elements characterizing CMHCs as a whole. Additionally, its emphasis on neurotic, emotional and relationship problems reflects the known extent of minor mental illness in general population studies. It exemplifies, therefore, two elements which may be expected to characterize significant elements of community care: an extensive clientele with minor mental illness and emotional problems, and a CMHC base.
