Although clients disclose many of their concerns to therapists,
they often choose to conceal some of their concerns as well.
Equally, therapists occasionally reveal something of themselves to
clients via therapist self-disclosure, but typically keep the focus
on clients. Such disclosure, whether by clients or therapists, is
seldom easy, and is instead often fraught with questions as to
what, how much, and why to disclose, as well as concerns regarding
the consequences of disclosure. Clearly, disclosure (or the lack
thereof) is an important phenomenon of the therapy endeavour. The
chapters included in this book examine various aspects of the
disclosure and concealment phenomena, whether from client or
therapist perspective. Contributions examine the relationship of
therapist self-disclosure to alliance and outcome; the phenomenon
of therapist self-disclosure in psychodynamic therapy; client
concealment and disclosure of secrets in therapy; young adults'
disclosures in psychotherapy and on Facebook; and lying in
psychotherapy. Each offers intriguing 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.
