Abstract

The concept therapist use of self is examined. Reasons for incorporating the moral awareness of the counselor into this concept are presented and a case example is discussed. The salience of this issue in the context of a post-positivist social science is addressed and contextualized within a multicultural frame. A critique of the notion of therapeutic moral neutrality is presented. The discussion concludes with a proposed framing of the concept of therapist use of self.
