Abstract
Forty school psychologists in two districts of the U.S.A. were interviewed using a structured interview format to obtain their perceptions of satisfactions and dissatisfactions associated with their work. Four areas of satisfaction and five of dissatisfaction were identified. A major finding was that many of the school psychologists did not appear to have had adequate training in coping with the pressures, stress, and dissatisfactions which they were experiencing.Keywords
