  Abstract:  Professional Skill and Personal Development of Helpers through Experimental Studies Experiences of Supervision. I am convinced that in the training of helpers – spiritual care, social workers, deacons etc. – it is important to lay special emphasis on professional skill and personal development. The issue’s importance is also emphasised by the Bologna process: it is possible that the basic university courses will be of preliminary theoretical nature. My personal commitment to experimental studies started quite a long time ago, on C. Rogers’s training in Szeged. I realised only after that what power, motivation and commitment a properly facilitated experimental study process provides. Experimental studies have a number of good but methodically different forms: case discussions, activity monitoring, supervision, coaching… Supervision is closest to me, which I define as a process-consultation, an accepting, securing and loving human relation based on deep trust operating in a structured way as a means of confronting clean communication, an alliance of the participants. In this study I report on the training of helpers based on experimental studies, which we are conducting in Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church – Deaconry Institute, with deacons and social workers. Its most important element is field work supervision. (I consider important to say that I/we have acquired similarly valuable experiences on practice monitoring seminars in spiritual helpers’ education at the Semmelweis University’s Mental Hygiene Institute, and on the institute managers’ training at the University of Religious Studies of The Reformed Church In Debrecen.)
