Abstract
This is a retrospective sketch of the first years of the Jerusalem Municipal School Psychological Service, built around a series of changes that occurred in the definition of the psychologist's role in the schools. A developmental scheme is presented under the theme of 'Who is the School Psychologist's Client?', and four definitions which consecutively determined service policies are outlined. First the child was defined as the client, then the teacher; next the school as a whole with an accent on problems, and finally with an emphasis upon the resources of the school. This brief description comes to elucidate some of the realities of the school as they present themselves to the psychologist, the opportunities, challenges and constraints posed by this reality to the mental health professional, and the evolving insights concerning the role of psychological services in the educational system.
