Tests of empathie discrimination, self-concept and locus of control were given before and after a graduate course in supervision. The course was both didactic and experiential and was built on a TA theory base. Results from two separate studies demonstrated significant changes toward empathie discrimination skill and internal locus of control. A statistically non-significant trend toward a higher self-concept was also seen. Control groups demonstrated no significant changes.
