ABSTRACT

The current agenda for mental health in schools is considered in relation to the concept of mental health and how it has been iterated in schools in the UK. Key contributions from education pioneers are outlined, providing a time line for the first half of the twentieth century particularly informed by psychoanalysis. Mid twentieth century the term mental health begins to be used explicitly and we see the emergence of mental health counselling in schools. Developments culminate in Wall’s (1955) landmark book Education and Mental Health, which set out a whole school approach. In the latter part of the twentieth century we see a move towards a targeted approach, and the curriculum development for Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) and the consolidation of current policy drivers for mental health are set out. It is argued that in the future, in light of COVID-19, we will see new bridges between home and school, with schools acting more as community hubs supporting the mental health of children and their families.

摘要

学校心理健康的当前议程是根据心理健康的概念以及它在英国学校中的迭代方式来考虑的。概述了教育先驱的主要贡献，为 20 世纪上半叶提供了一个时间表，特别是精神分析。二十世纪中叶，心理健康这个词开始被明确使用，我们看到心理健康咨询在学校出现。发展在 Wall (1955) 的里程碑式著作《教育与心理健康》中达到高潮，其中规定了整个学校的方法。在 20 世纪下半叶，我们看到了一种朝着有针对性的方法发展的趋势，并制定了社会和情感学习方面 (SEAL) 的课程开发以及整合当前心理健康政策驱动因素。有人认为，在未来，鉴于 COVID-19，我们将看到家庭和学校之间的新桥梁，学校更多地充当社区中心，支持儿童及其家人的心理健康。
