Abstract

In presenting the pragmatic consultation approach, we emphasized the fact that many educational psychology issues are characterised by the absence of a direct or obvious solution. Such issues call for ‘inquiry’, which involves experimental activities wherein various assumptions about the issues are set out, pondered, tested, reformulated and applied in various ways. Psychologists are academically qualified professionals; one of their most important skills consists of being able to cast an analytical eye over a complex issue, and in particular to grasp its complexity. Not only that, but one must also be capable of managing the complexity, so that one is not lost in it.
