ABSTRACT
Nepal (the Gorkha-eountry) is an independent Kingdom, situated on the central southern slopes of the mid-Himalayas. India is twenty-two times and China seventy-five times bigger than Nepal in size. Nepal is a land-locked country, the nearest sea-coast being 1120 km. away, in India. Linguistically, Nepal is a land of diverse ethnic groups. Nepal is rich in natural resources but very poor in its economy, Mich poverty still exists in Nepal, the annual per capita income averaging only approximately a hundred and twenty dollars Australian. The historic consolidation pattern of Nepal is similar to that of Germany. Nepal suffered from two dark periods, seventy-eight years of educational neglect, and a hundred and four years of opposition to education. The overriding preference of Nepalese psychologists is for cross-cultural and clinical psychology, mental testing and parapsychology. Psychology is taught in the Institutes of Education and of Medicine, at the Village development training centre at Jawleakhel, and at police training centres.
