Speaker: Susan Miller, LCSW-S, Grief Counselor
“To self-disclose or not to self-disclose?" Is a question that requires more than a simple yes or no answer. Most clinicians were taught not to self-disclose and that self-disclosure has dangerous ethical consequences. When clinicians self-disclose they often have a nagging feeling they shouldn't have. Few clinicians have had the opportunity to intentionally consider: Can self disclosure be ethical? Can self-disclosure be therapeutic? If so, who, what, where, and when would a clinician self-disclose? A review of the research and exploration of resources for intentional consideration of self-disclosure will enable participants to develop confidence in their discernment and understanding of self-disclosure in clinical practice.
