Novice counselors (n=36) saw recruited helpees. Introverted helpees rated sessions as less smooth but not less deep than nonintroverted helpees. Helpee-rated session smoothness was associated with greater use of support intentions, less use of resistance and challenge intentions. Novice counselors used more cognitions and challenge intentions and fewer support, relationship, and therapist needs intentions with introverted helpees. (Author/NB)
