There are many opinions about how psychotherapists should be selected and trained, what kinds of personal characteristics a potential therapist should have, the extent and nature of personal analysis, and the function of supervision, etc., but nowhere to our knowledge was this problem discussed by a group of people who represented different professions and different schools of thought and who were also intimately involved in the training of psychotherapists. There had been occasional papers and roundtables scattered in the literature, but we believed that we could render a valuable service by bringing such a group of people together to discuss this very important topic. We wanted to have discussed such topics as the personality requirements of a potential therapist including methods of selection, professional requirements and didactic work, the supervisory function and process, etc. Some of these issues were discussed quite fruitfully--others either bogged down or were neglected. The discussion sections were very open and free, and the freshness and spontaneity of the interaction was exciting and stimulating to participants and audience alike. It is our sincere hope that the papers and discussions contained in this volume will help to clarify some of the issues involved in the training of psychotherapists and to shed some more light through the expression of diverse opinion and discussion thereof. We further hope that this collection of papers will stimulate others to reconsider and re-evaluate the whole problem of training psychotherapists. Each of the chapters contains a participant's symposium presentation, and each chapter concludes with a section by a different participant that discusses that particular presentation.
