Developmental Phases in School Psychological Work?

Reflections on the Work of Psychologists in Finland

Pirjo Laaksonen

Provincial Government Department of Education, Helsinki, Finland

Between January 1984 and October 1985, a study group of psychologists and Board of Education members produced a report on school psychological work in Finland. The group considered the following issues: (a) what school psychological work is like in Finland and the main working routines; (b) integration of the school curriculum, educational practice and school psychological work; and (c) future plans for school psychological work in Finland. This paper considers some issues arising from the deliberations of the study group. These are presented by: (1) outlining a history of school psychological work in Finnish schools, a description of working routines and approaches and their integration with educational practice; (2) proposing an analysis of the phases of development in the work of psychologists and schools; and (3) considering how Finnish psychologists' practice might develop in the future alongside the Finnish Basic School Act. Finally, some conclusions are drawn for further consideration by practising psychologists in Finland.
