Abstract

Much of the existing literature on psychotherapist self‐disclosure has been with White or European American individuals. This article discusses cross‐cultural considerations related to therapist self‐disclosure. We present a clinical example of how therapist self‐disclosure might play an important role with regard to working with people of color. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
