Abstract	This project originally began as a direct result of counselor activities and difficulties in the Model Cities areas. The Providence and Pawtucket Model Cities areas proved to be a source of frustration for the counselors involved due to the multiplicity of problems found there and the inadequacy of the usual Division of Vocational Rehabilitation couselor-client approach to problems. After several meetings with the Model Cities personnel, the format to the present project was conceived, and considered to be the best approach to meet the needs of the residents of the Model Cities areas. This demonstration project was an attempt to determine whether or not an intensive family rehabilitation effort would succed in Model Cities areas where previous attempts at implementing Vocational Rehabilitation services were not totally successful. Counselors were to work with the family as a group rather than with individual family members. Along with this, counselors were to be trained in Behavior Modification techniques so that they would be the primary source of service for their clients as opposed to the traditional "purveyor" of service approach. Since the project was terminated at an early stage in its implementation, there is no empirical data on which to base judgments of effectiveness. By December 1971, problems of instrumentation and treatment delivery appeared to have been coped with. Counselors were beginning to observe behavioral changes in some of their clients. (Author/JM)
