Self-disclosure by patients with schizophrenia is crucial for the establishment of the therapeutic relationship and to provide safe and quality care. However, it can be difficult for these individuals to disclose everything. But while disclosure is linked to the need for help and has the potential to reduce stigma, it also exposes the person to negative consequences. The purpose of this study is to describe how people living with schizophrenia disclose information about themselves. The results come from a larger research study that used grounded theory. Measures of perceived social support, in both behavior and symptoms, and psychiatric comorbidities were also collected. The results describe the modulation process of self-disclosure, which consists of four subcategories: being invited to speak honestly, having the ability to disclose, expecting to actually be helped, and fear of stigma. The results highlight the features of self-disclosure by people with schizophrenia. Health professionals should pay attention to these elements when they question the quality of self-discolsure by patients with schizophrenia.
