The authors examined client outcome data to evaluate treatment effectiveness across counselor training level. They used a multitiered supervision model consisting of professional staff, interns, and practicum students. Clients (N = 264) demonstrated significant improvement with no significant outcome differences between professional staff and supervised trainees. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
To assess the effectiveness of time‐limited therapy in a university counseling center, 333 clients' precounseling and post‐sixth‐session College Adjustment Scales (CAS; Anton & Reed, 1991) scores were compared. Statistically significant decreases in reported symptomatology were found on all CAS scales. Notably distressed students reported moderate to large decreases in symptomatology.
