“…Two thirds of our anonymous sample have not disclosed their lived experience to any of their patients. Appropriate, responsible self-disclosure has been shown to be a powerful and positive tool in psychotherapy (Henretty & Levitt, 2010; Somers, Pomerantz, Meeks, & Pawlow, 2014) and has a long tradition in the addictions field (Dilts, Clark, & Harmon, 1997; Doyle, 1997; Mallow, 1998). Prosumers who have disclosed serve as evidence to colleagues and patients that meaningful mental health recovery is quite possible. Accommodation.…”

Anecdotal reports and first-person accounts by psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and nurses with lived experience of mental illness ("prosumers") indicate that they can be effective in these roles, but little is known about the extent, nature, or contributions of this group. Competently functioning prosumers are in a unique position to increase hope for recovery and reduce stigma and discrimination across the mental health field, to the ultimate benefit of consumers. The study surveyed a convenience sample of 77 prosumers working for the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). We present descriptive productivity metrics such as publications, presentations, funding, initiating and leading programs, training and supervising other clinicians, and performing community work outside VHA. Very few have asked for accommodations at work. Two thirds have not disclosed their lived experience to any of their patients. On average, respondents have disclosed to only 16% of their colleagues, and about one third have not disclosed to any of their colleagues. Qualitative data show that participants see their lived experience as an asset, whether or not they disclose it. They advocate being conscientious about self-care to remain work-ready. Although the group sees many advantages to being open about their lived experience, and many are proud to stand up and be counted, others cite reasons to be cautious about disclosure. It is hoped that this survey will provide inspiration and encouragement to mental health workers with lived experience and that it will help foster a welcoming and inclusive work environment for this capable group of colleagues.

“…In criminal justice research, self-disclosure has been researched primarily in literature related to the effective supervision of adult and juvenile offenders in the community, as well as work with drug using offenders and sex offenders (Dilts, Clark, & Harmon, 1997; Hartz & Thick, 2005; Ward, Hudson, & Marshall, 1996). However, much of this research is speculative in nature.…”

Self-Disclosure in Criminal Justice: What Form Does It Take and What Does It Achieve?

Self-disclosure, the act of therapists revealing something about themselves in the context of a professional relationship, has been linked with higher levels of effectiveness when used by correctional workers. However, it is poorly defined in both criminal justice policy and criminological research which has resulted in a lack of understanding about the potential risks and benefits to practice and practitioners. This article uses literature from other fields (namely, social work, counselling, and psychotherapy) to lay out what forms self-disclosure might take in the field of criminal justice. The article presents data that were generated as part of a larger project on emotional labour in probation practice in England. It analyses these data to argue that self-disclosure is used in two principle ways: to create and enhance a therapeutic relationship and in a more correctional way which is focused on criminogenic risk and need. We conclude by arguing that future research which seeks to identify a link between certain skills and effective outcomes needs to start with a much stronger definition of such skills as, otherwise, any effects are likely to be lost.

“…그러나 이런 자기 공개로 인해 상담자와 내담자의 관계가 공식적이고 전문적인 관계보다 점점 개인적이게 될 위험이 커진다[5]. 또한 이런 자기 공개가 내담자에게 초점을 두던 것에서 초점이 흐려지거나 상담자에게 옮겨질 수 있으며[29], 어떤 내담자들은 상담자가 회복자라는 것에 당황하고, 때로는 상담자와 경쟁하는 느낌을 갖는 내담자도 있다[30]. 또한 내담자에게 영향을 주기 위해서나, 인정을 받기 위해, 또는 개인적인 만족을 위해 자기 공개하는 것은 상담자와 내담자의 관계를 해치게 된다[20].결국 자기 공개는 내담자의 복지를 위해 사용되어야 한다.…”

Although addiction counselors are more likely to have ethical dilemmas due to multiple relationships than other counselors, there is a lack of clear ethical guidelines or research on this. The purpose of this study was to identify the issues that can cause ethical dilemmas in relation to multiple relationships in addiction counseling and to identify appropriate guidelines accordingly. As a result, 38 ethical considerations were extracted and classified into six categories: 1) revealing to the client that the counselor himself is a recovery ('self-disclosure'), 2) counselor and client participating together in a selfhelp group ('participation in self-help group'), 3) counselor's relapse ('relapsing counselors in recovery'), 4) recovering counselor's excessive desire to intervene in client healing ('excessive intervention'), 5) thinking that the experience and the client's recovery experience would be the same ('overidentification with the client'), 6) hiring a former client as an employee ('employment'). This study is meaningful in that it reveals the unique issues that addiction counselors may experience in relation to multiple relationships and suggests guidelines accordingly, which will be helpful in ethical education for addiction counselors in the future.
