Counseling Simulations.

This product uses interactive videodisc technology to provide realistic situations to which students can react as they deal with the microcounseling skills in the hierarchy of skills for helping professionals. Four simulated counseling experiences were developed and recorded on videotape and videodiscs. Learning activities, implemented using HyperCard, provide opportunities for students to observe, identify, practice, and evaluate a variety of microcounseling skills. The final product consists of four simulated counseling sessions, four instructional software activities which interact with two simulated counseling sessions, and documentation consisting of an instructor manual, student worksheets, and scripts of the counseling sessions.
