Abstract

School psychology training at the doctoral level is discussed. Given the increasing diversity in the schools as well as the varied education and mental health needs of the population, school psychology training is necessarily broad, involving traditional skills such as assessment, intervention, consultation, and counseling, all of which are taught within a context of a changing school population with changing needs. Because there is compulsory education, school psychologists’ interface with a broad cross-section of individual children, their parents, and their teachers. Moreover, school psychological practice is not limited to schools, as doctoral school psychologists are health service providers; many of these individuals work in other settings for which they are trained to provide services. The complexities and challenges of training school psychologists within this broad agenda effectively across domains are discussed.

摘要

讨论了在博士级别的学校心理培训。鉴于学校的多样性日益增加，以及人口对教育和心理健康的需求不断增加，学校心理培训必不可少，涉及传统技能，例如评估，干预，咨询和咨询，所有这些都是在上下文中进行的不断变化的学校人口和不断变化的需求。因为有义务教育，所以学校心理学家的界面与各个孩子，他们的父母和他们的老师有关。此外，学校的心理实践不仅限于学校，因为博士学校的心理学家是卫生服务提供者；这些人中有许多人在其他环境下工作，他们受过训练以提供服务。
