The problem of identity crisis in school psychology has been with us for many years. It has been suggested in these pages that the problem does not constitute a weakness within the profession but rather promotes a healthy interchange in ideas. Instead of seeking to provide a narrow definition of the school psychologist's identity, it seems to be wiser to recognize the roles of school psychologists to be as broad as the needs of children in the schools. There will continue to be debate about school psychologists' identity and about what they can do or ought to do in the schools. Those whom school psychologists serve will be the ultimate beneficiaries of this vibrant and constructive debate within the profession.
