The keystone of entire education enterprise is the teacher. Undoubtedly the teacher is the greatest single determinant of the school programme. Therefore the mental health of the teacher is very important in the context of effective teaching and learning process.The professional behaviour of teachers, personal characteristics, his environment and the tasks in which he is engaged are all important aspects necessary for the guidance and direction for the learning of the students. The relationships of teachers and students and their co-operation amongst each other cover the social behaviour of teachers. It is also influenced by socio- economic status and the personal adjustment of teachers in various fields like health, home, social, economic institutional and ethical etc.
Adjustment is a process that takes an individual to lead a happy and well contended life. It helps us in keeping a balance between our needs and the capacity to meet these needs. It persuades us to change our way of life according to the demands of the situation and gives us strength and ability to bring desirable changes in the conditions of our environment.
