CHILD GUIDANCE CLINIC AND SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICE The Child Guidance Clinic has continued to work along the lines set out in last year’s report. A number of adolescents have been seen, and the evening session has proved useful for these as well as for parents. The provision of an additional room has made it possible to treat the older children in different surroundings from the younger ones, which is much more appropriate.
