Mental health consultation in a law school clinic
Abstract
The author describes mental health consultation with legal interns in a law school legal clinic. Unique characteristics of this setting are described, including that it is not primarily a mental health area and that the consultees are trainees. Various types of consultee-centered consultation and direct and indirect client-centered consultation are discussed, as are problems that must be avoided, e.g., an excessive psychological focus on the part of the consultant or consultee.
