Catterall, Calvin D., Ed.
The document is second in a series which examines actual and potential contributions of psychology toward solving problems of the world's schools. Written by school psychologists from 15 countries, this volume describes ways in which psychology is applied in the author's country, traces the background of school psychological services, reviews the training of psychological personnel, and predicts future needs in school psychology. The document discusses improvements since 1975 in communication among school psychologists from around the world. Information is presented on school psychology in Ireland, Belgium, Western Germany, Switzerland, Turkey, Iran, Israel, Egypt, South Africa, India, the United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Panama, and Czechoslovakia. Topics discussed include: the relationship of educational guidance to special education, vocational training, and in-service teacher education; the application of psychological principles in socialist schools; promotion of school psychology services by psychologists in developing nations; and financial resources for school psychology services. Notes on contributors and charts summarizing school psychology information by country are included. (Author/DB)
