I am interested in the preparation of psychologists in the Educational system all over the Europe, in the possibility to get Europsy diploma for Slovak school psychologists, in new psychodiagnostical methods and interventions in the work of school psychologist. My opinion is that the "Open Heart“ is the most important task for school psychologists

| School psychologist and clinician psychologist since 1989. I started in a school for boys and girls with psychological disorders, but later on my interest turned to work with gifted children. Now I’m the Spanish Delegate of the World Council for Gifted and Talented Children (WCGTC), since 1997, and I was founder member in 1991 of FICOMUNDYT (Ibero-American Federation of the World Council for Gifted and Talented Children), passing for the following charges: Secretary of International Relationships, from 1991 up to 1995, and, later, Treasurer, up to 1997. From November 2003 until December 2007, I was the coordinator of the Work Group of Giftedness and High Abilities of the COPC (Official College of Psychologist of Catalunya), and I’m also vocal of the Board of Directors of the Educational Department of the COPC since 2003. Last year (2007), I began to work again as a school psychologist, mainly in private schools in Barcelona, but in fact I never gave up working with schools because working with gifted children you have to deal constantly with teachers, headmasters, and the Administration of the Schools and of the Educational Department of the Government of Catalunya, so by now I know quite well how do schools work in my country, and what are their needs and pros and cons. I also published several books and reports and studies, mostly about giftedness and its educational intervention.
