Title: The Status of School Psychology in China at the Millennium
Abstract: The discipline of psychology is emerging as a recognized and respected profession in China. This is perhaps due to the need to address children’s increased difficulties in academic and social functioning. Nevertheless, psychologists are still rare with most services being conducted by medical personnel. However, a number of university psychology programs, such as school psychology and clinical service centres, are being formed as a result of the need to provide psychological services to school-aged children. The development of school psychology in China parallels that of the United States where practice was originally conducted by individuals not formally trained specifically as school psychologists. The purpose of this paper is to trace the evolution of school psychology in China.
