Editor's Notes
- Good morning and thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak with you today. My name is Bryn Robinson, and the title of my presentation is “Walking the Line: Ethical and Educational Concerns for Therapist Self-Disclosure.” Before I begin my talk, I’d like to take a moment and engage in some ethical self-disclosure myself: I’m not a clinician, but rather a graduate student training in experimental psychology. Impetus for paper / talk : was based on my ethics courses in psychology, which were largely composed of clinical students. As we worked through ethical principles involved in the therapeutic relationship, I was interested in how these students would learn to deal with ethical self-disclosure. It seemed that they learned about other ethical dilemmas but this appeared to be avoided or assumed to be learned. Worked with three clinicians at UNB to research the strengths and weaknesses of ethical self-disclosure. From there, we were able to make several practical recommendations for future graduate student training. Further, although much of my knowledge is rooted in a psychological standpoint, we feel that what we have to say about SD applies to any doctor-patient relationship. Thus, this talk is from an experimentalist’s outsider perspective on SD in therapeutic relationships, and looks at both the theoretical and practical applications.
