The contribution of discussion to the development of clinical method

Abstract

Many clinicians have been successful in employing the client‐centered approach to speech therapy, others have not. Beginning clinicians especially are open unsuccessful because they lack the values, understandings, and attitudes that the method requires. This article is addressed to the clinician‐in‐training and his advisor. It suggests that a course in group problem solving provides the future clinician with the experience through which he can gain the understandings and develop the attitudes prerequisite to successful client‐centered therapy.
