The Misrepresentation of School Psychology in Introduction to Psychology Textbooks.

Wise, Paula Sachs

Teaching of Psychology, v8 n3 p170-71 Oct 1981

This study indicates that introductory psychology textbooks ignore the role of the psychologist in the schools. Out of 84 textbooks, only 26 described the school psychologist. When 12 students analyzed these available descriptions for five skill types, no coherent images of school psychologists emerged. (AM)
