ABSTRACT
The role of the counselling psychologist as remedial counsellor/psychotherapist is well defined in the literature, even in Britain where the debate concerning the professional status of counselling psychology continues to rage. But, the role of the counselling psychologist as psychological educator is less well defined. As Nelson-Jones (1982) has argued, psychological education is not a unitary phenomenon and he lists six activities that fall under this general heading. One of these activities concerns educating the public in psychological matters.
