Journal of Counseling Psychology, v44 n4 p390-99 Oct 1997

Explores the experiences of prepracticum trainees, focusing on changes in trainees' anxiety, self-efficacy, counter-transference management, and therapeutic skills. Results indicate that trainees became less anxious and developed greater skills over the semester. Qualitative results suggest that some trainees' reactions interfered with their ability to provide maximally effective counseling. (RJM)
