Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of clarification of a school counselor's role in promoting cooperation among school counselors and teachers. For this purpose, the School Counselor Active Use Program was created and then introduced in a primary and a junior high school. "Consultation" and "problem-solving by cooperating" were selected as the target behaviors, then the behavior of school counselors and teachers was observed. It was found that they increased their target behaviors. The school counselors and teachers in charge of school counselors at the two schools were asked to answer a questionnaire, which contained questions about the acceptance of school counselors by school systems, school counselors' clinical psychological actions in the school, and cooperative behavior among school counselors and teachers. Results of the questionnaire showed that the participants' scores increased. This study showed that clarifying the school counselors' role is effective to promote cooperation among teachers and school counselors.
