Book Description
In an attempt to make sense of contradictory findings, meta-analysis was employed to examine the experimental research of therapist self-disclosure (TSD). Sixty studies were coded for six analyses--TSD vs. no-disclosure control, intra-therapy vs. extra-therapy TSD, similar vs. dissimilar TSD, positive vs. negative TSD, female vs. male participant receiving TSD, and female vs. male therapist disclosing. TSD was found to have a slight favorable overall impact on participants. Specifically, TSD had a slight to small impact favorable impact on participants' perception of the therapist, including that of the therapist's professional attractiveness; level of regard for, and similarity to, the client; and personal attributes. Additionally, participants rated themselves as slightly more willing to disclose to a disclosing therapist. Compared to extra-therapy TSD, intra-therapy TSD was found to have a slight to small favorable impact on participants' perception of the therapist; specifically, on the perception of the therapist's trustworthiness, expertness, and professional attractiveness. Compared to TSD that expressed dissimilarity to the client, similar TSD was found to have a small to robust favorable impact on participants' perception of the therapist, including perceptions of the therapist as a good therapist, of the therapist's level of regard for the client, and of the therapist's empathy, congruence, unconditionality, professional attractiveness, trustworthiness, and expertness. Additionally, participants who received similar TSD were found to have a higher level of allegiance to the therapist and were more willing to return to the same or a similar therapist. Findings were mixed for positive vs. negative TSD, with positive TSD showing a small favorable impact on participants' perception of the therapist's trustworthiness and on therapy outcome, and negative TSD showing a robust favorable impact on participants' perception of the therapist's level of regard for the client. Gender--both of the participant and of the therapist--was not found to be related to the impact of TSD. Clinical implications include that TSD, generally, may be beneficial for building rapport and strengthening alliance, for modeling, and for eliciting client disclosure, and that intra-therapy TSD and TSD that expresses similarity to the client may be especially beneficial. Implications for future research are discussed.

Clients' Perceptions of Therapist Self-disclosure as a Therapeutic Technique [microform]
Author: Jean Elizabeth Hanson
Publisher: National Library of Canada = Bibliothèque nationale du Canada
ISBN: 9780612914216
Category : Psychotherapists
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
Incidents that were lacking in skill could have potentially serious negative consequences. However, when the alliance was already strong, even less skilled incidents could be integrated into the clients' therapy experience. Eighteen people in two Canadian cities, ranging in age from 24 to 57 years, participated in this qualitative study. The interview data yielded 157 instances of disclosure and non-disclosure, which were coded and analyzed according to helpfulness or unhelpfulness. Disclosures were further analyzed in terms of two other variables, revelation/involvement and explicitness/emplicitness. All incidents were then analyzed according to themes. Participants were more likely to perceive their therapists' disclosures as helpful, and non-disclosures as unhelpful. The greatest effects involved the alliance; there were other positive effects as anticipated from the literature. Unhelpful non-disclosures ruptured the alliance and set clients up to manage the relationship by avoiding certain topics. Skills and skills deficits were associated with both disclosures and non-disclosures.

Psychotherapist Revealed
Author: Andrea Bloomgarden
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113589230X
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
In this edited volume, the real dialogue begins. Therapists speak openly and honestly about their self-disclosure practices, decisions and clinical dilemmas. Bloomgarden and Mennuti bring together research, training and tales from their clinical experience to illuminate lessons derived from their own journeys toward judicious, balanced self-disclosure practices. In a readable fashion, the stories highlight a variety of self-disclosure and boundary issues that occur in the course of psychotherapy. Numerous treatment modalities and clinical orientations are represented. The collective wisdom offered through these stories, which includes suggested guidelines and a standard of care for good practice, will assist the reader in developing a better understanding of what it means to self-disclose appropriately, recognizing a flexible middle ground between "too much" and "too little" along with responsiveness to client need. The Freudian based taboo that rigidly warns against all self-disclosure is antiquated, and a more reasonable, balanced perspective is under way. As a psychotherapeutic community, including psychologists, social workers, art therapists, counselors, dance/movement therapists who are all represented in this book, it is time to talk openly about a balanced, judicious, and therapeutically appropriate approach to self-disclosure and boundaries. Bravely, that is exactly what the authors in this book have done.
