Then we will have a warless world," the speaker stated. She opened her talk by describing this-'age as the atomic age, which during the next 15-25 years will be as different from the age we are living in as we are now, in relation to the Middle Ages. She spoke of three groups of people those that fear, those that ignore and "Those realists as as idealists who accept the atomic power as a challenge td ingenuity. These are the people who say we have a reasonable hope in the United Nations."

ERVIN TEPLIN Medical Director Waukesha County Child Guidance Clinic This question has no doubt been posed in many communities in the last decade, including Waukesha county. And even after such a need was recognized, and action taken to implement it, there remained the problem of (1) informing those citizens who had previously not been exposed to this data (2) justifying the continued need to the population who have no direct working contact with such a clinic. Since the information concerning case histories must remain confidential, there is no opportunity to demonstrate concretely the work that is done. Only by indirection then, could a community learn about a clinic and its functions. These include (1) old statistics (2) meeting the staff members and gaining from such contact an idea of their personalities and of the rationale of their work.

A question frequently asked and a subject occasionally misinterpreted is: What happens when Johnny's mother brings his problem to the Child Guidance Clinic? The first contact with the clinic team is that with the psychiatric social worker, a person trained to orient the family with the Clinic procedure and to evoke a meaningful history from the parent. Several of such interviews may be required before the next step, staff discussion of the case. Here a tentative determination is made of the diagnosis, the seventy of the problem, the degree of need for treatment, and a plan of disposition. The mother may then be' seen again by any member of the staff, depending on the specific problem involved. The staff psychiatrist, for instance, may interview her or the child at this point.

The child is seen by a staff member, who utilizing playroom techniques, encourages the child to feel comfortable and relaxed and thereby in a position to reveal his personality to the examiner. This may also include specific psychological test procedures, if the examiner is the psychologist on the team. After an evaluation has been completed-and it may require several visits by the child the situation is again discussed at staff, where several alternatives are possible. It may be determined that the case either does not warrant, or possibly could not benefit from therapeutic effoits by the clinic team. The clinic makes whatever recommendations might be indicated to alleviate the problem presented, such as leferial to other community agencies.

The case may require therapy. The child is seen by one staff member, while the mother is seen concurrently by another. At some times in the course of the-evaluation or the treatment, the father may also be interviewed The child treatment is usually carried on in the playroom, where he may choose at will, whatever medium he feels most comfortable in his play, the medium he selects is considered by the therapist as his way of communicating his desires, his fears, his joys, his conflicts i e. his personality. The therapist strnes to utilize this communication and likewise attempts to return the communication at the child's level, in way may be considered meaningful by the child.

In this way. he develops trust and this is the basis for the emotional growth that is manifested in the treatment. At the Waukesha Clinic, the interviews with the parent are usually earned on by the psychiatric social worker or the psychiatrist. In these, the parent is stimulated to describe the child, his activities, the home setting, conflicts and problems which may be affecting the child directly or indirectly. As this progresses, the parent has an opportunity to review the pertinent facts and the attitudes attached to them, and consequently comes to see the child in a more objective light.

The parent may otherwise be seen in another setting instead of an interview individually with the staff worker, a group of about six parents convene together periodically under the leadership of a staff member. This is the. Group Therapy approach. In spite of a natural reluctance to be candid and open in groups, the parents come to recognize that others in the group feel similarly about their children's problems, and soon find; Present Program The PEO Record was the basis for the program of Chapter AQ PEO Sisterhood, Monday afternoon, at the home of Mrs. Erlmg Larsen, 419 E.

Broadway. Each member read her faxorite quotation from the Record. Bits of poetry, rules for daily living day by day, stories, essays and prayers were given by the members. Mrs. G.

Aubrey Young, program chairman, who presented the program, introduced the program with an original poem. Mrs. C. M. Gustine was the assistant hostess.

themselves stimulated to approach their problems under this new light. These are not lectures, nor are they classes or clubs--they are frank and earnest discussions by the parents, with some purposefully deft direction by the group therapist. The following general statements also apply to the clinic treatment generally: 1. Many parents consider that the "treatment" consists in the staff answering the parent's questions, or in providing them with advice. In our clinic today, this is not the case.

Rather, the goal is to encourage and stimulate the parent to bring out and review his feimgs and attitudes, and to enhance the quality and extent of communication between the various members of the family. Then, the defeat is considered not to be the lack of but the faulty communications of feelings where the child is concerned. 2. The case load is high and a waiting list for treatment cases has been established. It can be seen from the description of the evaluation and treatment process, that each case consumes a considerable amount of time.

This is only one part of the Clinic function although the most important part. But the Clinic also serves: a) to disseminate to the community, information about mental health and its problems in cooperation with the Child Guidance committee. b) to contribute their specific approach and background toward the solution of community problems; this entails conferences with the representatives of welfare departments, courts, police, nursing and physicians. c) to provide internships for social workers from the University of Wisconsin. Another goal, as yet unaccomplished, should be to carry on pertinent research projects, which in the largest sense will be the ultimate source of information and techniques to provide new inroads into the problems of mental 31 health Waukesha Daily Freeman Thursday, February 4, 1954 Page 5 'i C..
