Educational Psychology is one of the cruellest frontline in contemporary psychology. It is a scientific arena overwhelmed by different social demands in our globalized society. Educational psychology is not a patchwork of practices, but an artwork where theoretical knowledge, methodological instances and culturally situated meaningful interventions (in a specific educational context) are indissolubly interwoven.Thus, educational psychology deals with both practice and theory where practices are not just a matter of actions, but they encapsulate theory (even in a non-reflective way) while theory illuminates the course of the actions and provides the general framework for understanding the human conduct. The pragmatic consultation approach proposed by Thomas Szulevicz and Lene Tanggaard in this book, seems to answer to this double bonded issue.
