Project Summary: Counselor self-disclosure has been an issue of ethical concern as a result of research such as that conducted by R. I. Simon (1991), who found that inappropriate self-disclosure is the type of boundary violation that is most likely to precede sexual intimacies. Nonetheless, Neukrug and Milliken (2011) found that nearly 87% of surveyed counselors rated self-disclosing to a client as “ethical.” Self-disclosure may be therapeutically beneficial or harmful, depending on a number of factors.” Discuss how self-disclosure can be both beneficial and harmful.
