Abstract
Educational psychology in the UK has a relatively small academic base and is a term which often refers to what in the US would be known as school psychology. I want to muddy the waters in this chapter by proposing an educational (school) psychology practice which is both relational in its foundations and more theoretically transparent i.e. critical in the way that it subjects to analysis direct work with young people, their families and their teachers.
