Educational Psychology Practice – A Divided Field

Abstract

These statements come from a PPC psychologist and a PPC manager respectively. In the first, the PPC psychologist reflects how as part of decentralisation, she is spending more fixed hours per week in the schools she is connected to. In the second statement, the PPC manager expresses concern that the heightened requirements for more practice-oriented educational psychology guidance could result in the advice provided by PPC psychologists relating in too many cases to questions of teaching.
