Gesell: The First School Psychologist Part II. Practice and Significance

Abstract

Part I of this series (see issue 16–1 of the School Psychology Review) explored the events leading up to Gesell's appointment in Connecticut following an unsuccessful attempt to create a similar position between Stanford University and the California State Board of Education. Part II describes what is known of several aspects of the historic Connecticut position including conditions of employment and specific roles and functions. While some questions remain unanswered regarding his acquisition of the title “school psychologist,” it is concluded that he was the first practitioner in the United States to officially hold that title.
