The use of self-disclosure is a balancing act. In this workshop, we'll explore who and what influences our attitudes about self-disclosure, examining the origins of personal self-disclosure tendencies in small-group discussions. Through role-plays and enactment of self-disclosure dilemmas and choices, we'll explore self-disclosure options and results, considering nuanced and complex ways of thinking about the issues. We'll review empirically supported guidelines and tools for good practice and engage in exercises using a Self-Disclosure Decision Making Worksheet that can help therapists make choices and evaluate the likely outcomes. Clips from the HBO series In Treatment will be shown, vividly demonstrating the effects of unwise self-disclosure by a therapist. Note: this workshop fulfills many state board requirements for training in ethics and risk management.
