Abstrakt: This article reports an investigation of the relationships between counselor trainees' knowledge of counseling and guidance and their competence in conducting counseling interviews. The 39 enrollees were tested before and again at the end of a nine month program. Randomly selected, tape-recorded inter- views, conducted by the enrollees with secondary school students in a counseling practicum, were evaluated on an interview rating scale. Correlational analyses were used to test hypotheses regarding the relationships between the two outcomes. No significant relationship between knowledge and counseling competence at the beginning of the training program was found. The hypothesis that the relationship between the two outcomes is significantly higher at the end of the training program than at the beginning was not supported. Correlations between specific areas of subject-matter knowledge and `logically" related dimensions of counseling competence were generally not significant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
