ABSTRACT
Social skills training (SST) has become very widely used (a) in clinical settings, (b) in many areas of occupational training—for teachers, doctors and others, including training to work in other cultures, and (c) for the general public, e.g. training in assertiveness and dating skills (Argyle, 1981a, b). And every kind of psychologist is administering it—occupational, clinical, educational, prison, and social. While this is generating jobs it is also starting to meet an immense human need.
