Therapist Self-Disclosure

"""Dr. Danzer and colleagues have done a stellar job packaging research on therapist self-disclosure in a practical and easily organized guide for emerging and seasoned clinicians alike. If you ever wondered, ‘Should I share this thought at this point in time with this client?’ or ‘What would my client think of me sharing this?’ this book offers critical insights."" Eddy Ameen, PhD, associate executive director, Early Career and Graduate Student Affairs, American Psychological Association ""Dr. Danzer continues in his quest to bring together people from different backgrounds, religions, gender identities, and personal preferences. This book is an important and comprehensive step in helping practitioners at all levels understand appropriate boundaries and pathways to maximize safety, quality, and appropriateness of care in psychotherapy."" Doug Cort, PhD, director of training, Adventist Health Vallejo, director of training, John George Psychiatric Hospital (ret.), and director of psychology, Section of Preventive Cardiology, UC Davis Medical Center (ret.) ""Dr. Danzer and his coauthors bring out the salient aspects of psychotherapist self-disclosure across almost every imaginable domain that therapists face, from cultural diversity to sexuality to trauma. Self-disclosure is grounded in normative clinical interventions that must be tailored to a client’s life context while making use of theory, research, and therapist self-awareness to augment outcomes. The book shines a laser beam on self-disclosure where it can be fruitfully engaged by beginning and experienced clinicians."" Randall C. Wyatt, PhD, clinical psychologist, associate professor, California School of Professional Psychology, San Francisco at Alliant International University"
