The client has the right to decide whether and how they participate in treatment, while the therapist remains responsible for practicing within applicable legal, ethical, and professional requirements.
Important distinction:
Consent vs. Safety/Legal Obligations
Revoking consent doesn't necessarily eliminate the therapist's other legal or ethical obligations. For example, confidentiality has legally recognized exceptions, and specific safety or court-related circumstances can affect what a clinician is required or permitted to do.
