Extract

This is an edited version of the inaugural Constance Davey Memorial Lecture, delivered by Dr Rosalyn Shute on 23 February 1995, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the educational psychology (guidance) service in South Australia. Constance Davey's background and the beginnings of the psychological service in 1924 are described. The role of the educational psychologist as she established it is discussed, and its breadth contrasted with the narrow role which educational psychologists often find themselves taking today. The unique and vital role of the educational psychologist is outlined but concern is expressed about current professional problems both in Australia and overseas. This lecture was sponsored by the South Australian Department for Education and Children's Services.
