Studies on a generalized Coleman-Hepp model are done on the basis of a spin coherent state representation and a transformation property of the model Hamiltonian. Namely, transforming the original model Hamiltonian into a simpler form, we can determine time evolution of the whole system by successive applications of rotation operators in a spinor space. Dynamics of detector spins as well as that of an incident particle are fully discussed. Explicit numerical evaluations are also performed. Relevance of our solution to a generalized Cini model is also briefly mentioned.
