The Q-sort technique and a confidential questionnaire were used for data-gathering, while the statistical tools used for analysis were the Pearsonian Product-Moment Coefficient of Correlation and the Regression Analysis. Four hypotheses guided the study: harmonious relations between school social workers and guidance counselors depend upon non-overlapping functions; overlapping of functions is associated with such social factors as: academic training, age, length of contact and work experience; the experience of working together as a team is expected to minimize overlapping functions and produce harmonious relations, and the increase in interactions between school social workers and guidance counselors leads to an increase in their liking for each other.

A multiple correlation of work experience, length of contact and academic training, all taken, with overlapping functions was similarly found to be significant for the counselors and school social workers, treated as a team.
