Abstract
A case-seminar method of group mental health consultation is presented and differentiated from group supervision, seminar teaching, sensitivity training, and group psychotherapy. The group consultant employs roles and techniques of a teacher, a group leader, a clinician, and a communication facilitator. Analysis of the process of group consultation suggests that several phases are discernable and that each phase offers opportunities for fruitful, problem-solving discussions of the personal reaction of clients and consultees. Group discussion of consultees' reactions to and feelings about their clients and the active use of group processes by the consultant most clearly differentiate this method from Caplan's approach to mental health consultation with individual consultees.
