A two-year follow-up study investigated changes in interview behaviour of 11 therapists who had previously been trained in the conversational model of psychotherapy by a combined videotaped microteaching and supervision package. Results generally showed the acquired skills had been well maintained. However, there was a large increase in the giving of information and explanation, a behaviour explicitly discouraged within the conversational model. In addition, the response to verbal cues, a positive model behaviour, decreased over the follow-up period.
