Abstract

Based on the writer's experience in a small school system, the following functions of a psychologist are suggested: group and individual testing; remedial teaching and the instruction of teachers in this field; diagnosis and treatment of personality problems; participation in record keeping, extra-curricular activities, reconstruction of the curriculum, formation of policies, home-school relationships, and responsibility for the in-service training of teachers in guidance. A factor affecting the scope of functions will be the degree of emphasis placed upon treatment as opposed to prevention.
