Abstract
Some characteristics of the individual who attends psychotherapy influence its outcomes, and these variables are the main factor associated with change. A treatment that is tailored to each case will be much more effective than one that does not adapt to the uniqueness of each client. This paper focuses on one of the factors to take into account: the patient’s preferences, a fundamental pillar of evidence-based practice in psychology. Available empirical evidence is reviewed, along with associated clinical implications and recommendations. This is followed by other ethical considerations, which lead to a discussion about the dilemmas that can arise when working with each individual's preferences.
