Thanks everyone for your responses.

I think, I need to clarify that my question was regarding the therapist's performance, not the client's progress, because I get a sense that some of you have understood it as some kind of a progress report card which is not what I meant.

I voted yes for the same reasons Xynestesia has given:

1) I wanted to see the therapist accepting some accountability for their performance;

2) While being in therapy I got sick and tired of my concerns and objections to what didn't work being dismissed as my "issues" that either had something to do with transference or with other projections from the past experiences. That's why I thought that if the therapist asks for feedback that would imply that they are interested in how I feel and what I think about their performance, which to me is imperative.

I value collaboration in general and, in therapy, because of the personal nature of the service collaboration to me is crucial. But collaboration cannot be established if there is no room for honest feedback from the client, and, actually, from the client and the therapist both. Without this kind of openness no real progress can be made IMO. I think, both sides, the provider and the consumer, need to make sure every once in a while if things are working well and there is nothing in the process that hinders the progress for the client.

Weekly check ins are, probably, too frequent to be meaningful, but monthly ones sounds about right to me. I thought of some brief monthly questionnaire that can be filled out and submitted online by the client by a certain date every month at their convenience at home. This would certainly work for me.
