Abstract
Most forms of verbal communication involve self-disclosure — even if this is at the simplest level. However, given the complexity of nurse/patient relationships, it is fair to say that many verbal exchanges involve a certain degree of deeper, more personal disclosure. This workshop explores a variety of issues related to self-disclosure and allows workshop members to examine aspects of individual’s levels of self-disclosure.
