I think different orientations view it differently. I have read stuff on how self-disclosure can be useful sometimes (to demonstrate empathy, to model examples of successful coping etc). I think the idea is that it can be useful at times for some clients, but that the therapist should be sensitive to when the client doesn't like it. Or to when it is meeting the needs of the therapist more than the client.
I personally don't like it.
I don't want to know.
