Dr. Gordon Clark’s 1984 survey of CMHC psychiatrists regarding their perceived need for a national association 

In 1984, the APA facilitated Dr. Gordon Clark's conducting a survey of CMHC psychiatrists to assess their perceived need for a national association specifically for them. Their overwhelmingly positive response led later that year to the organizational meeting of the American Association of Community Mental Health Center Psychiatrists, now known as the American Association for Community Psychiatry. Results of this survey, with many telling comments, can be found in part 2 of Dr. Clark’s monograph, “Community Psychiatry: Problems and Possibilities.”
