Abstract

Psychotherapists in training assessed their own skills. Three different measures of change were used: (a) the difference between skills rated at the beginning of training and skills rated at the end of training, (b) the difference between skills rated at the end of training and retrospectively-rated skills, and (c) the difference between skill ratings performed at the beginning and retrospectively-rated skills.There were significant changes in all three comparisons. Most interestingly, the trainees considered themselves as rather competent already at the beginning of training, while at the end of training they remembered themselves as incompetent and insecure. This result is interpreted as an expression of fluctuations in self-esteem, necessary for learning to take place.
