This article describes a 10‐week workshop for experienced counselors who are interested in learning to do group counseling. It describes the treatment process, the selection of enrollees, the laboratory experiences provided for both personal and professional development, and the supervision provided. Follow‐up evaluation of the workshop with participants revealed that they achieved most of their personal and professional goals. The author believes that three primary elements contributed to the success of the workshop: (a) carefully selected, committed, competent students, (b) committed, competent staff, and (c) the allocation of adequate staff time to provide quality supervision.
