This principle encompasses ethical standards such as avoiding dual relationships with clients and discontinuing treatment when it is clearly no longer beneficial.

Client-Centered Care in the context of psychology refers to a therapeutic approach that prioritizes the individual needs, preferences, and values of the client in the planning, coordination, and delivery of care. Originating from Carl Rogers' client-centered therapy, also known as person-centered therapy, this approach emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness on the part of the therapist to create a supportive environment in which clients can explore their feelings and thoughts without judgment.
