Teaching and Supervision in Counseling
We proposed the implementation of a course dedicated to the etiology and treatment of process addictions in counselor-training programs. We described the nature of the course and results of paired samples t-tests examining differences in 23 students’ preferences, competence, importance, and understanding at the beginning and end of the semester.

We concluded with a description of implications for counselor educators and counselor-training programs.
