Self-Disclosure in Clinical Practice

3 CEUs
Available for New York State Psychologists, Social Workers LMFT and LMHC

This presentation aims to clarify this situation through examining the history and definitions of self-disclosure, proposing a much-needed theory of its therapeutic action, and giving case examples where it can be used constructively throughout the treatment instead of waiting for an enactment.

Learning Objectives

1. Participants will learn about the history of the term self-disclosure, and the controversies over its use up to the present.
2. Participants will understand Maroda ‘s theory of completing the cycle of affective communication as it applies to self-disclosure.
3. Participants will learn why waiting for enactment, which almost always requires a self-disclosure, can be ineffective and even harmful.
