Each type of i.estitution is described extensively in terms of the history of its delivery systems in the United States; its current organization and operating principles; and the way-in which it handles children in a fictional, typical community (Noah). Examined are such historical developments as the growth of 2ublic school involvement circa 1915-1946, the evolution of an independent juvenile court- apparatus, the emergence of mental asylums in the Jacksonian era, and the antecedents cf American colonial poor relief. Subtopics considered in relation to the structure of various service delivery systems include client population; personnel; programs, facilities, and intervention techniques; informational resources; power and political structures; and patterns of interaction with other systems. Ibe roots cf counter institutions (tor example, free health clinics and communes) are examined in the context of historical radicalism, cultural rebellion, trancendentalism, and Bonemianism. The authors stress the importance of client focus (through cooperative interdisciplinary professional efforts to provide improved service), of advocacy for the whole child (rather than emphasis upon particular services provided by individual agencies), and of the need for schools to _fulfill central roles as clearinghouses for clients of alternative systems. Rererences are listed at the end of each major section. (IH) Documents acquired by ERIC include many informal unpublished materialsnot available from other sources.
