F or many years, the psychotherapy literature has focused on therapists' theories of psychopathology and of their clients' change processes. It is therapists' interpretations, conceptualizations, and interventions that are foundational in most theories of psychotherapy and psychotherapy research endeavors. Although their perspectives have advanced the development of the field of psychotherapy, this focus historically has excluded the other contributor to change in therapy-namely, the client. It is only within the last 50 years that research on clients' experiences of psychotherapy has begun to blossom (Levitt, 2015). Foregoing the perspective of clients in our representations of the coconstructed process of change has meant that the self-healing activities of clients and their efforts to manage the therapeutic encounter are rarely integrated into our professional understanding of what psychotherapy entails (Gordon, 2012). Although clients have been found to contribute most to the variance in client change scores (e.g., Wampold & Imel, 2015), they remain the neglected factor in psychotherapy research (Bohart & Tallman, 2010). In this chapter, we argue that an understanding of clients' experiences provides necessary guidance for the training and practice of responsive therapists. We first consider what the literature on clients' experiences teaches us about the skills that therapists need, both to implement interventions responsively and to support clients' self-healing efforts, and then make recommendations for practice, training, and research. We draw primarily on the findings from an omnibus qualitative meta-analysis (Levitt, Pomerville, & Surace, 2016
