Teacher attitudes to the school counsellor: A reappraisal

Despite a growing body of empirical and theoretical work on the role of the school counsellor, little evidence is available about the attitudes of teachers themselves towards their counsellor colleagues. This paper reports some results of a study of teacher attitudes in eight comprehensive schools. The findings suggest that teachers are significantly more supportive of school counsellors than is often suggested, and that this is particularly true of teachers in schools with counsellors in post.
