Abstract

Strategies for working with community groups must be developed if the principles of community mental health are to be put into practice. An experimental outpatient treatment program for adolescent delinquents that required the cooperation of two community groups, the school and businessmen, necessitated the development of certain procedures for mobilizing the groups around the implementation of treatment. The success of the program serves to highlight certain principles of working with community members.
