Six graduate students responsible for the creation of a peer-counseling walk-in clinic discuss the training techniques used for peer counselors at UCLA. A psychology course featuring didactic and informational lectures, small laboratory sessions, and personal growth groups was instrumental in generating three basic attributes in the peer…

Describes a model for communication training in bargaining and negotiation skills. The model was designed for enforcement officers who collect delinquent taxes but can be adapted for clients in other public and private organizations. (PD)

A DESCRIPTION IS GIVEN OF CONCEPTS, METHODS, AND A STRATEGY TO AID TRAINING OFFICERS AND OTHERS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROGRAMS OF CHANGE IN CONDUCTING EVALUATION STUDIES INVOLVING SYSTEMATIC PLANNING, CONTROL, AND ASSESSMENT OF THE PROCESS OF CHANGE.

The co-leader dyad can be viewed as a small group in its own right, developing over time. The purpose of this paper is to propose a model of some of these developmental changes in member expectations, co-leader responses, and the co-leaders' relationship with each other. (Author/NG)

This article presents a Learning-Training-Counseling model for group counseling. This model synthesizes theories and practices of group counseling, T-group training methodology, and selected basic learning principles. Three major phases of group development are described. Discussion includes behavioral guidelines for implementation, suggested…

The triad model seems to offer a number of advantages over alternative training approaches. It provides an opportunity for persons from different cultures under controlled conditions to accomplish a training goal. As a simulated interview, it offers greater safety to demonstrate strong feelings and provide direct feedback. (Author)

Several treatment and therapist training programs use role playing, videotape feedback, and modeling in combination. Undergraduates were randomly allocated into four groups of 12 subjects each: no-treatment controls, role playing, video feedback, and modeling. Results showed, modeling produced the greatest overall behavioral change, followed by…

Management processes of planning, organizing, directing, and motivating are vital to schools and industries alike. Accordingly, this module, the first in a series of two, has been developed as a training guide using the Hersey-Blanchard approach to leadership styles. It can help build principal-faculty relationships, superintendent-governing board…

This paper reviews the various matching model (aptitude-treatment-interaction) strategies that might be used in human relations training (HRT) settings. The introduction provides a definition of matching models, discusses the need for a matching model approach in HRT, identifies certain assumptions about HRT, and provides an overview of the rest…

This paper examines the principles and concepts of several different processes and models of professional-client interaction in the initial face to face interview--Davies' approach, Silber's model, Shein's process consultation model, Havelock's change agent model, medical problem solving processes, and counseling processes. Conclusions drawn from…

The "how" of teaching is as significant as the "what". This was the content of a nonlecture session at the N.C.G.E. Milwaukee meeting that was structured to give participants an experience in a dynamic model of process instruction. (Author/JH)

Based on the assumption that the conduct of an effective supervisory conference is analogous to effective teaching and that the assumptions made about effective teaching behaviors can also be made about supervisory behaviors, this paper develops and describes in detail a ten-category observation system for supervisory conferences, similar to the…

Therapeutic hours conducted by analytically oriented, experientially oriented, and nonprofessional therapists were rated along eight process dimensions. Only patient negativism and patient exploration failed to yield significant effects. Replicated the findings of previous analogue investigations. (Author)

Presents a model of interaction and considers the implications of part of that model for intervention processes in T-group training. (Author)
