ABSTRACT

In this chapter I shall be looking at the work I have conducted in a special school over the last 2 years. I hope to show how there are significant advantages and some drawbacks to offering a psychotherapy service which is school based. I shall describe the school in its physical and organisational forms and I shall try to draw out the lessons I have needed to learn about working as a therapist in school. I shall also describe the contribution I think I have been able to make over this period of time.
