The booklet, part of a series which examines actual and potential contributions of psychology toward solving problems of the world's schools, contains articles written by school psychologists from the United States, Europe, Latin America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan. The document was compiled in response to a need for international perspectives on practical psychology which was expressed at the First International Colloquium in School Psychology, held in Munich, Germany, July 22-26, 1975. The major purpose of the series is to increase communication among school psychologists and psychologists-in-training in developing and developed nations so that they may be made aware of new ways of applying psychology to school-related problems. Most of the articles describe: (1) the application of psychology in the schools of the author's country, (2) the historical roots out of which this service evolved, (3) how psychologists are trained and how they currently function in schools, and (4) prediction of trends within school psychology in the near future. Topics discussed include: nature of specific groups which demand the most counseling, parental, and community involvement; the relationship between school psychologists and teachers; and difficulties in diagnosing children suffering from intellectual or educational problems. Notes on contributors and a chart summarizing school psychology information by country are included. (Author/DB)
