Working with clients by incorporating their preferences.

Working with clients by integrating their therapy preferences into the treatment decision-making process has been identified as an important part of evidence-based practice in psychology. Accommodating client preferences has also been demonstrated to lead to fewer treatment dropouts and improved therapy outcomes. In this article, we present a number of clinical interventions or techniques for addressing client preferences in psychotherapy. Clinical examples demonstrating the techniques are also provided. 2013 APA, all rights reserved
