Identifier	Thesis 1584
Author	Ellis, Kathleen
Title	Training counseling students to use appropriate self-disclosure in the personal growth group : an historical thesis / Kathleen Ellis
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2000
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	This thesis addressed the ethical issues involved with evaluating counseling students' personal characteristics during classes that involve self-disclosure. To accomplish this, an historical look was taken, first, at self-disclosure and its relationship to mental health and counselor effectiveness. Special attention was given to appropriate self-disclosure and the ability to monitor disclosing behavior. Disclosure flexibility, a concept developed by Chelune (1977), was described as the ability to perceive social cues and adapt one's self-disclosures accordingly. This concept was examined closely and its relationship to interpersonal functioning and counselor effectiveness was explored. Secondly, this paper explored the issue of evaluating counseling student's self-disclosure in the counseling classroom. This began with an historical look at the personal growth of the counseling student and the use of the personal growth group in counseling programs. It looked at the differences between the didactic approach and the experiential approach in the education of counselors and how the integration of the two became popular. Additionally, this paper discussed how the combination of the two approaches facilitated the integration of didactic learning with the personal values, goals and lifestyle of the student. Thirdly, this paper addressed the ethical implications involved when educators or supervisors participate in the personal growth activities of students. It looked at the educator's ethical responsibility to protect the privacy of their students and how this conflicts with their obligation to protect consumers from incompetent counselors. It discussed how being privy to a student's self-disclosure in the personal growth group creates a conflict when what is disclosed provides evidence of the students' unsuitability for the profession. Additionally, it offered a close look at the experiential group and how current models of the group, more often than not, violate student privacy rights. Fourthly, this paper examined the appropriate use of self-disclosure in the counseling classroom. It examined the literature currently available on this topic and reviewed what educators are currently doing to train students to use appropriate self-disclosure. Additionally, recommendations were made to improve current programs designed to train students to use appropriate self-disclosure in the counseling classroom. Finally, educators were asked to examine their motives for introducing the evaluative component into the experiential group. They were reminded of the extensive opportunity they have to fulfill their gate-keeping function elsewhere in the curriculum, and strongly urged to remove the evaluative component from the experiential group.
