Abstract

The consultations provided by school psychologists and other mental health personnel working within the school environment have the potential to affect many individuals. Some of these individuals, such as the child, the teacher, the school administrator, or the parent, are easily identified. Each in turn may be considered to be the client or, at least, a member of the client system. The web of individuals affected by a consultation also may include those whose identity is not obvious; these individuals have been previously labeled the hidden client. In this article, we discuss a pragmatic approach to identifying and working with these hidden clients based on the notion that people are connected to each other by the meanings they generate through conversation and narrative.
