In counterbalanced order trainees of two groups were trained on dimensions as follows: Group A : (a) counselor‐responsive dimensions, (b) counselor‐initiated dimensions; Group B : (a) counselor‐initiated dimensions, (b) counselor‐responsive dimensions. Pre‐, mid‐, and post‐testing indicated that both programs were effective in demonstrating changes in communication and discrimination of both counselor‐responsive and counselor‐initiated dimensions. The counselor‐responsive—counselor‐initiated (R‐I) sequence effected the greatest changes in the counselor‐responsive dimensions in the briefest period of time while not being significantly different from the level of functioning of the counselor‐initiated—counselor‐responsive (I‐R) group on the counselor‐initiated dimensions.
