The purpose of this work is to present the research program of a Clinical Center, the AIGLE Foundation in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It describes the potentialities and advantages of research in this context. It also describes the institute, the types of patients treated and its professional staff. The program covers four areas: determining the demand for psychotherapeutic care in the population at large, studying the conditions making participation in community mental health possible, analyzing and follow‐up on the outcomes and studying the personal styles of the therapists. Finally, this work discusses the usefulness and applicability of these results for clinical practice. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Clin Psychol 54: 343–359, 1998.
