title: Environmental factors and clients' self-disclosure in counseling.
abstract: Self-disclosure by clients is regarded as a fundamental component of counseling, with increased self-disclosure being related to positive outcome of treatment; however, scant attention has focused on environmental characteristics that may facilitate self-disclosure among clients. An evaluation of prior research in this area leads to suggestions for studies on environmental factors and self-disclosure.
