Abstract
Therapists tend to listen to each other's interpretations of their work. Clients, too, have interesting perspectives which may add valuable ideas to therapists' discussion of therapy. Listening to client voices has a long tradition in systemic therapies and is encouraged by contemporary concerns raised by feminism, cultural and racial awareness, client self-help groups and therapist licensure. The following review suggests that listening to clients' experiences of therapy could become a routine part of therapy rather than an occasional request made to gather information for evaluation, research and publication. Von Foerster (1984) suggests, “Act always so as to increase the number of choices” (p. 308). Clients offer comments on therapy which often increase choices for the musings and metaphors of therapists.
