Assertion Training for Mental Health Paraprofessionals

Flowers, John V.; Goldman, Roy D.

Journal of Counseling Psychology, 23, 2, 147-150, Mar 76

Ten weeks of assertion training was provided to eight mental hospital paraprofessionals. These trained subjects served as either counselor or counselee in a microcounseling session with eight paraprofessionals who were untrained in assertion training. Assertion-trained counselors were superior to untrained counselors on a set of counselor-effectiveness measures. (Author)
