Opis

Although clients disclose many of their concerns to therapists, they do choose to conceal some concerns. Equally, therapists occasionally reveal something of themselves to clients via therapist self-disclosure. Disclosure is often fraught with questions as to what, how much, and why to disclose, as well as concerns about the consequences of disclosure. This book examine various aspects of the disclosure and concealment phenomena, whether from client or therapist perspective, and offers insights into the disclosure, or lack of disclosure, in psychotherapy, from the therapist or client perspective. This book was originally published as a special issue of Counselling Psychology Quarterly.
