| Abstract | While most counselor training programs highlight basic counseling skills, few programs address the development of counselors' conceptual abilities. This study explores the changes in conceptualizations of counseling and the corresponding changes in the counseling skills of prepracticum counseling trainees. Six graduate students in a counselor training program participated. Testers administered pretest and posttest assessments on the first and last classes. Researchers then obtained counselor conceptualizations via a cognitive mapping task--a two-step process in which probe questions generate concepts and then the latter are arranged into a pictorial map which illustrates how the concepts relate to the participant's thinking. The small sample size did not permit analysis of relationships between conceptual change and change in skill use, though several relevant observations were made. Primarily, this study provides support for a microcounseling approach to skill training; microcounseling enhanced counseling skill for this group. Changes in structuring skills showed that participants learned to structure their sessions to provide a meaningful context for promoting client insight which in turn facilitated client learning and change. Results suggest that counseling skills could be enhanced by concomitant training in the conceptualization of factors that affect client change. Participants' cognitive maps contained in an appendix. Contains 15 references. (RJM) |
