Abstract
Counselor education literature acknowledges the difficulty of skill maintenance but offers few solutions. A review of related areas was conducted to provide direction in developing maintenance strategies. Four domains were considered: maintenance in behavior modification, behavioral self‐control, the traditional maintenance mechanisms of feedback, supervision, and observational media, and self‐supervisory programs. A self‐supervisory program that applies the procedures of behavioral self‐control to specific helping behavior that is identifiable on audiotape or videotape is advocated.
