abstract: The variables in the Skill Acquisition Model (Dreyfus & Dreyfus, 1988) were used to order observations made in a graduate student clinical supervisory group. Components, perspective, decision, and commitment are the variables and are discussed as they relate to learning beginning skills in the psychotherapy process.
