| Summary: | This study investigated the use of feedback and encouragement in improving counselor effectiveness. Clients judged their counselors significantly higher than did expert raters. However, a significant correlation occured between the client and rater opinions concerning helpful counselors. Counselors receiving feedback based on client-rater evaluations and also obtaining encouragement to plan and implement alternative behaviors improved significantly more on their pre-post total scores than did a matched control group of counselors. All counselors improved their client-rater scores as a result of a supervised practicum experience. Implications and suggestions for counselor supervisors are included. (Author) |
