It is not illegal for a therapist to listen to someone's mother rant and rave, in fact it helps him understand what someone's facing at home.
The problem is when the therapist says something to the mother about what she's shared in therapy. However, if client doesn't want her therapist to listen to her mother, she can tell T that.
