Abstract
The empirical finding that clients adopt (are converted to) psychotherapist values raises serious ethical problems for which several solutions have been proposed. Ethically nonproblematic approaches to handling values are discussed and the ethical problems of value conversion (especially of moral, religious and political values) delineated: reduction of client freedom, failure to provide clients with adequate information about psychotherapy, violation of the therapeutic contract and lack of therapist competence to convert. Proposals to reduce the occurrence of value conversion and to minimize the ethical problems associated with it are set forth: therapist training, therapist-client matching, referral, informed consent and changing roles
