This presentation deepens a discussion of the riveting and central issues of technique that Dr. Richards explores in his paper on self-disclosure and self-revelation. When is a self-disclosure or self-revelation an appropriate intervention? What are the historical leanings toward abstinence or toward self-disclosure? How did Freud practice—where did he stand in his formal writing, and where did he venture in his own practice? Attendees are asked to think about examples from their own practice when they have been faced with technical questions about disclosure, and to be prepared if they wish to discuss such an example. All participants are asked to read Dr. Richards’ paper prior to the presentation; it will be emailed to them once an RSVP is received. Space is limited so please RSVP only if you are able to physically attend, and 2 CEU’s are available upon completion of the event.
Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to identify historical perspectives in favor of self-disclosure or in favor of abstinence.
2. Participants will be able to identify the difference between self-disclosure and self-revelation.
3. Participants will consider instances in their own practice when they felt challenged around the issues of self-disclosure and how they directed the intervention that they chose to use.
