Presents a brief history of school psychology in Egypt, outlines its major trends, evaluates its current status, and presents guidelines for its future. Analysis shows that when psychology was presented for the first time in 1929, it took the form of educational psychology. In 1934, a version of educational psychology similar to school psychology was introduced, with the progress of a "testing movement" and the foundation of the first psychological clinic for school children and adolescents. For more than 50 yrs, both psychometric and clinical movements achieved gains and losses. At present, however, the school psychologist, unlike the social worker, is not recognized as a member of the school services team. Speculations for the future are based on J. I. Bardon's (1982) thesis of the industrial-organizational model, which implies that the psychometric and clinical features are necessary but not sufficient. (17 ref)
