The Permission to Know
Abstract
Secret-keeping exacts an insidious toll personally and professionally. Personal vignettes illustrate the cost of imposed familial secret-keeping, and the path-changing effect that supervisors, teachers, and therapists can exert through a simple question, a perceptive observation, and an atmosphere of interest, kindness, and respect.
