Eva Dubovská: Klient: často opomíjený účinný faktor psychoterapie
The client: often neglected helpful factor in psychotherapy

Summary/Abstract: Theoretical study presents the client factor, according to some authors the most neglected therapeutic factor, mainly in the context of contemporary psychotherapy research dominated by the so-called medical model. The concept of reflexivity and agency is presented as the fundamental essence of client factor, mainly in the studies of David Rennie and also more recent studies about how to strengthen and support the client´s agency in psychotherapy. Further we review studies on client´s motivation, client´s own strategies in psychotherapy and on working with client´s strengths and resources.
