By drawing on a specific case example--the teaching of community intervention in a clinical program--this paper describes the problematic themes that graduate student trainees bring to the supervision of consultation and explores the influence of the organizational base for teaching on both the structure and the process of the field experience. These thematic struggles, in part generic to the community-interventionist role and in part a function of the pattern of institutional arrangements that frame the training experience, are analyzed, and recommendations are made for structural changes that would facilitate training in community intervention.
