52.2 Therapist Self-Disclosure With School-Aged Children

Abstract

The goal of this session is to educate participants on the topic of therapist self-disclosure (TSD) with school-aged children. The pivotal developmental and other considerations that impact TSD decision-making will be addressed. A review of the evidence base and clinical material will highlight the different ways in which therapists self-disclose as well as the indications, benefits, and risks of such disclosures.
