After completing the Personal Orientation Inventory, 32 counselors‐in‐training each conducted a half‐hour counseling session with one of 32 volunteer clients. Following the session, clients and counselors filled out the Barrett‐Lennard Relationship Inventory, indicating how encouraging the counselor had been. Correlational analyses found that in general, counselor trainees who viewed themselves as more self‐actualized were not perceived by clients or by themselves as being more encouraging. Specific elements of self‐actualization however (awareness of self, others, and the nature of man) were related to facilitative conditions.
