A critical review of objectives and used techniques (theorical information, case discussion, role playing, feed-back) is presented here. This review includes also the discussion about training module integrating several techniques. This review shows the efficacy of experiential techniques as well as participative techniques. The results of available studies are finally emphasizing two difficulties the maintenance and the consolidation of the various skills acquired over time and their successful transfer to the clinical practice.
