The Rorschach test was administered to 14 Ss who had endured a week of perceptual deprivation and to 7 Ss who had terminated isolation prematurely. An Index of Control, equivalent to the proportion of Defense Demand to Effectiveness of Defense, was derived for each S. Groups with High- and Mid-control Indices tended to be composed of successful Ss whereas the group with a Low-control Index tended to be composed of unsuccessful isolation Ss.
Both counseling and supervision of counseling are seen as complex learning situations that may be analyzed from the standpoint of an experiential learning model. This perspective-based on the work of David Kolb-identifies four modes of experience, each of which is involved in an experiential learning cycle. These modes of experience-Concrete Experience (CE), Reflective Observation (RO), Abstract Conceptualization (AC), and Active Experimentation (AE)-must all be accessible to the learner (client or student counselor) for optimum functioning. An analysis of clinical dialogue between client and counselor and between counselor-in-training and supervisor is used to demonstrate that effective counseling and supervision demands that all four modes of experience be available to the clinician and that treatment be seen as making these modes available to the client.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
