Client Rights in Psychotherapy and Counselling: A Handbook of Client Rights and Therapist Responsibility

The Client Rights Handbook (1998, updated 2015) was developed by the Client Rights Project, a coalition comprising Feminist Advocates for Counselling Ethics (FACE), the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape (TRCC/MWAR), and the Women’s Counselling Referral & Education Centre (WCREC). This handbook aims to educate clients on their rights within psychotherapy and counselling relationships, addressing the prevention of client exploitation. It includes sections on client rights, ethical responsibilities of therapists, identifying and addressing violations, evaluation of therapy processes, and community resources. The publication also features practical tools like sample interview questions and guidance on filing complaints.
