Contemp orary discourse on self-disclosure frequently emph asizes enactment\, dismissing the possibility of f ormulating effective guidelines for deliberate use . This perspective contradicts existing literature and raises ethical questions about both disclosin g and withholding the therapist’s countertransfere nce. The view that it is impossible to determine w hat or when to disclose due to the uniqueness of e ach dyadic relationship positions enactment as pur er communication because it is unconscious and spo ntaneous. However\, this stance is inconsistent wi th both case reports and empirical research on dis closure. This presentation examines overlooked asp ects of the literature and challenges over-relianc e on enactment\, highlighting associated ethical d ilemmas. Research findings on therapist disclosure \, clinical examples\, and evidence-based guidelin es for its use will be presented.

\n DESCRIPTION:Contemporary discourse on self-disclosure frequent ly emphasizes enactment\, dismissing the possibili ty of formulating effective guidelines for deliber ate use. This perspective contradicts existing lit erature and raises ethical questions about both di sclosing and withholding the therapist’s countertr ansference. The view that it is impossible to dete rmine what or when to disclose due to the uniquene ss of each dyadic relationship positions enactment as purer communication because it is unconscious and spontaneous. However\, this stance is inconsis tent with both case reports and empirical research on disclosure. This presentation examines overloo ked aspects of the literature and challenges over- reliance on enactment\, highlighting associated et hical dilemmas. Research findings on therapist dis closure\, clinical examples\, and evidence-based g uidelines for its use will be presented.\n \n \n CATEGORIES:Conference CALSCALE:GREGORIAN DTSTAMP;TZID=America/Chicago:20261003T090000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261003T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261003T121500 LOCATION:Shepherd of the Hills Presbyterian Church\n 5226 W William Cannon Dr.\n Austin\, TX 78749\n United S tates\n URL:https://austinpsychoanalytic.org/civicrm/event/info/?reset=1&id=65 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
