“…A study by Handley (1982) showed that differences in cognitive information organization affected the way in which counselors and supervisors made interpretations and communicated about the clients they were seeing. Kimberlin and Friesen (1980) also found a relationship between restricted levels of cognitive complexity in counselors and a difficulty responding to complex affect. Participants who had higher levels of conceptualizing skill demonstrated less difficulty responding to complex affective client presentations.…”

This study examined the relationship between basic counselor skills training and cognitive complexity levels in counseling trainees. Data from graduate counseling trainees enrolled in basic skills training courses and a control group were collected (N = 72). Cognitive complexity levels were measured using the traditional 2‐person form of the Role Category Questionnaire (B. R. Burleson & M. S. Waltman) in a pre‐ and posttest design. Participants exposed to the basic skills training course showed a significantly higher cognitive complexity level than the control group when posttest means were compared.

“…In all three studies, counselor trainees viewed videotapes of clients and made written counselor responses. Both Abramowitz, Abramowitz, and Weitz (1976) and Kimberlin and Friesen (1980) found female counseling students to be significantly more empathic than male students following empathy skills training. However, Carlozzi and Hurlburt (1982) reported no difference between male and female counseling students in affective sensitivity (empathy).…”

This study examined the effect of the sex role orientation and gender of counselor trainees on their counseling effectiveness and ability to demonstrate expressive and instrumental counseling skills. Forty-seven counselor education students, enrolled in one semester of counseling skills training, completed the Bern Sex Role Inventory (Bern, 1981a), taped pre-and posttraining quasicounseling sessions, and took a videotape counseling skills exam. Factorial analyses of variances indicated that sex role orientation had a significant effect on counseling skills scores and counselor response effectiveness before and after training. Gender had no significant effect. The masculine sex role oriented trainees were rated less effective than the undifferentiated sex role oriented trainees on counseling skills. All trainees improved over time; trainees in the androgynous orientation group, significantly more effective prior to training, were not more effective after training. These results suggest that counseling skills training consider trainee sources of variation in learning. Further research and training implications are discussed.

“…Partial support for this matching procedure in counselor training has subsequently been reported. Kimberlin and Friesen (1980) found that low conceptual level trainees were less able to respond to complex affect than were high conceptual level trainees. They found that results from self-report measures supported in general the matching model, whereas behavioral measures did not.…”

With the renewed interest in the role of cognition in counselor training, numerous studies examining this phenomenon have emerged. This article reviews existing literature relevant to cognitive issues in training. The effects of various cognitive attributes such as conceptual level and cognitive style are discussed. Similarly, the impact of various cognitive training strategies on trainee performance are examined, such as modification of trainee cognitions to enhance skill generalization and cognitive restructuring techniques to alter maladaptive cognitions of trainees. In addition, methodological issues that have served to limit research activity are addressed. Brief recommendations are offered for future research and training efforts. Dale R .
