“…Others, notably Hoffman (1991) and Renik, (1995) have advocated for greater personal disclosure to foster therapeutic healing. Another group could be said to be comprised of those who, recognizing that personal disclosure is inevitable, are attempting to understand the complexity of personal disclosure as a part of the therapeutic process (i.e., Cooper 1998;Levine 2007;Orange and Stolorow 1998).…”

Increasingly clinical work has explored the value of disclosure, particularly personal disclosure, in the therapeutic process. This new found freedom to reveal has also raised alarm amongst some clinicians. This paper explores the current debate surrounding personal disclosure and its relationship to intersubjective perspectives. Clinical vignettes help elaborate the issues, providing an integration of theory and practice, and one that is consistent with social work's attention to the environment.

“…A related problem can be seen in a clinical example cited by Orange and Stolorow (1998). They state that the patient in question needed her analyst "to be real in order to enter and stay with her own reality" (p. 536).…”

Analytic Neutrality, Anonymity, Abstinence, and Elective Self-Disclosure

Recent contributions to the psychoanalytic literature propose new ways of understanding analytic neutrality, anonymity, abstinence, and self-disclosure. They advocate elective self-disclosure by the analyst as an antidote to the allegedly game-playing quality of transference and resistance analysis. The analytic relationship, they assert, becomes unreal when attempts are made to observe the principles of neutrality and abstinence. Both are seen as ill-conceived because of the irreducible subjectivity and unwarranted authority of the analyst. These relational and interactional views are criticized because (1) they ignore the fact that transference and resistance analysis have from Freud onward been accepted as minimal criteria qualifying a clinical process as psychoanalytic; (2) elective self-disclosure carries metapsychological implications dismissing not only Freud's theory of motivation but motivation as a basic feature of human personality; (3) they do not recognize interpersonal relations as mental events and so do not consider the ego's ability to create intrapsychic representations of object relations; (4) elective self-disclosures within the empathic parameters of the analytic situation are themselves unreal compared to the reality of the patient's experience with other objects. Abstinence and neutrality as ideals facilitate maintenance of an internal holding environment or container for the analyst's countertransference.

“…Here again, I think Merleau-Ponty's ideas could inform the intersubjective approach of Stolorow and colleagues, who have recently advanced a similar assertion(Orange and Stolorow, 1998). 2 It would be interesting and important, I think, to differentiate commonality from sameness.…”
