The needs of modern schools necessitate the broadening of the scope of activities of school psychologists. The school psychologists have to work with therapeutical, educational, and organizational issues. In order to become more effective in the fulfilment of their work task school psychologists have to work preventively. They have to work more as consultants and in collaboration with educational staff, pupils, families and other relevant groups. Their education and training have to focus both on core psychological, educational, and sociological theoretical knowledge, as well as on practice and continuing education.
