学校心理学に関する研究の動向と課題

Abstract

This paper reviews the trends in research on school psychology published in Japan during the year from July 2021 to June 2022 from the perspective of school clinical psychology. Although school psychology and school clinical psychology have contrasting characteristics in terms of disciplinar y roots, approaches to practice, and research methods, there is an increasing demand for practicality in school psychology and collaboration with school clinical psychology, which is at a turning point in Japanese school counseling. As a result, while many of the papers presented during this period were related to psychoeducational programs that take advantage of the features of school psychology, there were also elements from school clinical psychology, such as program evaluation and detailed intersubjective understanding.As future issues, the author points out the importance of contributions to school settings through psychoeducational programs, the addition of school clinical psychology elements in both practice and research, clinical psychology training, and international information exchange.
