This journal is a collection of articles and models relevant to the school social worker and relating specifically to the school setting. The journal is an important innovative step towards the definition of the school social worker's role and the establishment of his professional identity. The very publication of a journal specifically concerning school social workers acknowledges the importance of the school social worker's role, and the material contained therein provides models and guidelines for dealing with problems in a setting which stresses productivity rather than emotional stability.
