Abstract
In the press of actually providing consultation services, a theoretical orientation may seem superfluous. In fact, however, a solid theoretical grounding can be of great practical use. Several orientations have been developed and can be combined to fit a consultant's personal beliefs and practice situations. Mental health, behavioral, and process models of consultation are those most often described. A unifying perspective is obtained by using ecological theory as a conceptual umbrella to plan entry, assessment, intervention, and evaluation activities.Keywords
