A Phenomenological Investigation into the Use of Therapist Self-disclosure in Compassion-Focused Therapy With Forensic Clients
Overview
This qualitative study explores how six Compassion-Focused Therapy therapists utilize self-disclosure with forensic clients, aiming to understand its role in strengthening therapeutic alliances within secure settings. The findings indicate that while therapists view self-disclosure as a valuable tool, they face significant tension between risk management and therapeutic benefit, particularly noting that secure environments and client history (such as sexual convictions) often discourage its use. The resource highlights the need for specialized training to help practitioners navigate these environmental barriers.
