Abstract
The specialty of school psychology is described in reference to seven key historic events as well as its current roles and functions. The somewhat slow growth of school psychology during the first half of the twentieth century was followed by its rapid growth in the 1960s and 1970s in the USA, Canada, some Western European countries, as well as countries strongly influenced by the British educational system. Internal and external conditions that strongly influence school psychology’s development together with the role of the International School Psychology Association are discussed.
