Training institutes such as graduate schools for clinical psychology have been required to produce effective clinical psychologists. In this study the development process of novice counselors was investigated using four scales : self-introspection, internal consciousness of others, perspective taking, and counseling self-efficacy Inventories. This study focuses on the case conference presentation experiences of graduate students in a clinical psychology program. Longitudinal research was conducted on 34 graduate students. Participants answered four questionnaires three times during their training process February, April, and after the case conference presentation of their own case（around June）. Results showed that scores of self.introspection in February could predict scores of counseling self-efficacy in June, and scores of session management skills in April could predict scores of counseling self-efficacy in June. Results also showed that there were correlations among scores of self introspection, internal consciousness of others, and perspective taking in February and April. Therefore, we concluded that the first half of the graduate student training process should focus on internal experiences in order to encourage them to understand themselves and develop self-introspection. In the second half of the training process, we need to teach and discuss their specific counseling skills on the basis of their own cases
