Abstract
This article presents a developmental model of the therapist's process of skill acquisition delineating Neophyte, Mastery, and Expert Phases. Specific characteristics and pitfalls of each developmental stage are described on a continuum. The discussion also focuses on the use of the local study group as an educational and supportive environment for the therapist treating patients diagnosed with dissociative disorders. A description of how such a study group provides
a source for case consultation, peer supervision and support for the otherwise isolated and confused therapist is presented.
