| Abstract: | The efficacy of training as a mode of treatment has been tried in many settings with a variety of populations. This study utilizes assertive training as a mode of treatment. The effects of a four-week assertive training program were measured by several instruments including the Hippie Interpersonal Relationship Rating Scale, Wolpe-Lazarus Assertive Inventory, and Content Inventory. Results indicate assertive training as having both positive and negative effects as perceived by trainees and their spouses. The variance in rating indicates the need to include a trainee's significant other in some phase of training. |
