Abstract
This paper discusses some of the dynamics inherent in the training process involving ex-addict paraprofessional counselors. Some issues discussed are the threat to self-esteem implied in the training process for ex-addict counselors. These include mistrust of their intuitive feelings, minimizing their street knowledge, and a possible resistance against imagined professional control. The issue of why train, from both the administrative as well as counselors' view, is extensively discussed and the point is made that training is at the heart of function. Techniques found effective in the training of ex-addict counselors are discussed at length, and a few cautions are examined for increased sensitivity and effectiveness.
