Abstract

Presents details of CLIENT 1 in which, through interaction with the counselor, a programed client progresses toward the goal of verbalizing a specific problem statement. Client movement is a function of the simulated variables: threat value of counselor and client statements, strength of the relationship, and an index of counselor competence. The simulation project is valuable as a means of training and evaluation in counselor education and in studying counselor cognitive processes. The program, written in FORTRAN IV, also provides an opportunity to test the sufficiency of an explicit set of theoretical constructs for explaining client behavior.
