Akridge, Robert L.; And Others
This trainer's manual is part of a set of training materials developed to help vocational rehabilitation workers improve their basic helping skills. It provides comprehensive instructions for conducting a three and one-half day training program focused on developing helping and counseling skills. Part 1 concentrates on training methodology, covering how to provide interpersonal skills training and eighteen principles of systematic training. Other contents include a group barometer to gauge emotional arousal, suggestions for the physical setting, and information on the importance of positive reinforcement. Part 2 contains five training modules on engaging, attending, responding, personalizing, and initiating. Materials in each module may include time requirements, objectives, suggested lecture points, and trainee activities with instructions for both the trainer and trainees. A pretest is provided in the first module and a posttest in the last. Sheets with helpee stimulus statements follow a bibliography. (YLB)
