Clients and therapists sometimes tend to have different ideas about how psychotherapy should proceed. Existing research shows the importance of taking into account client preferences and expectations about the treatment is related to treatment outcomes. Our studies focus on both clients' and therapists' preferences. In doing so, we rely primarily on the Cooper-Norcross Inventory of Preferences, a questionnaire we have been involved in developing.
