Ethical Considerations of Self-Disclosure

Diane Bigler

899 session participants

What were you taught about self-disclosure to clients in grad school?

Are you wondering whether or not to disclose “something” to your clients ?

Self-disclosure in therapy is complex and dynamic. During this Klatch workshop, we will have our eye on ethics as we explore considerations for clinician self-disclosure to clients. Self-disclosure has a number of dimensions, including clinical, therapeutic, technical and-in some cases-legal or regulatory. We will examine the nature of self-disclosure, including potential benefits and risks. Attention will specifically be given to ethical considerations, namely relevant ethical principles and a typology of self-disclosure through the use of case vignettes. Finally, key recommendations will be given for clinicians to consider in their course of self-disclosure opportunities. Clinicians will be encouraged to “know thyself” and their ethical responsibilities to best utilize the avenue of appropriate self-disclosure.

PLEASE NOTE: This course will provide 1.5 CE units in ethics.
