| Abstract: | The affective training component of the counselor education program at the University of Houston is described in this report. The goals of the affective training program are to enable the student to improve his self-awareness through self-exploration and to improve the effectiveness of his professional and interpersonal behavior. Implicit in the approach of the training program are the basic assumptions that a) counseling effectiveness can be enhanced through increasing effectiveness in a general interpersonal setting; b) self-awareness augments interpersonal effectiveness; c) people have a need for insight into human behavior; and d) learning is reciprocal. The goals of the program are achieved through the following procedures: a) student-faculty retreats, b) psychological assessment tests and feedback sessions, c) affective learning modules, and d) video tape feedback. Evaluation of student performance in module activities and video tape sessions is accomplished through both subjective and objective assessment. (HMD) |
