The therapist’s self as part of the work

This edited volume examines how therapists’ personal presence and choices enter the therapeutic relationship. Its chapters address transparency and self-disclosure alongside the professional boundaries that shape their use, and consider how therapists can develop the self as an adjunct to their work. The discussion also brings internet and social media into view, connecting established questions about therapist conduct with newer forms of communication. Together, these topics make the book a focused exploration of therapy dynamics and professional practice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Therapists considering questions of self-disclosure and professional boundaries.
  • People involved in therapist education or development.
  • Readers interested in how internet and social media affect the conduct of therapy.
