Providing Direct Service and Preventive Programs for Children in Poverty.
Wohlford, Paul
When the psychologist serves Head Start, he must be a consultant to the whole Head Start organization, from top to bottom, director to children, and horizontally from potentially supportive agencies in the community to the Head Start staff, to the children and their parents. In the process of serving as a community psychologist, he will be called on to perform traditional clinical services as well. If there are not enough psychologists who are willing to accept these new roles and responsibilities, then new psychologists must be trained to accept this challenge in clinical child psychology, since the present programs do not reach the disadvantaged child.
