Abstract
In this article, the analyst's straggle with a life-threatening illness provides the impetus for reflecting on the uses and misuses of self-disclosure, given the norms of “real-self being,” spontaneity and honesty that she wishes to encourage in her therapy group. Also discussed is the combination of group context and disclosure of life-threatening illness to produce a unique and uniquely intense transference/countertransference paradigm.
