The purpose of this project was to study the interaction which takes place between school counselors and undocumented children in the Swedish school system. Qualitative interviews with seven school counselors have been conducted to highlight their experiences of working with children who find themselves inside the society's geographical boundaries, yet with limited civil rights. The theoretical framework and concepts of discretion and role theory has enabled us to analyze the school counselors' manner of dealing with this target group. The results of the study show that the school counselors describe the circumstances of the childrens' lives in similar ways, but also that the counselors' have different approaches when

School counselors' personal strategies have also been shown to have an impact on the manner of which they work with undocumented children. (Less)
