Abstract
THE PROBLEMS RAISED INCLUDE CONSULTATION OF INMATE FILES, STUDENT DISILLUSIONMENT, SEX MATCHINGS, DISCREPANT VALUE SYSTEMS BETWEEN STUDENT AND INMATE, CLIENT DISSIMULATION, AND TIME AND SCHEDULING FACTORS. STUDENT REACTIONS TO THESE ISSUES ARE CITED, GIVING A CLEAR PICTURE OF THEIR RELEVANCE TO THE STUDENTS' INTRODUCTION TO THE FIELD.
