In this article attention will be devoted to the subject of objective expliciting of therapeutic practicing. Because the author regrets the seeming tendency of decline in this line of client-centered theory and practice, he has performed a search, by way of analysing and evaluating the course of a workshop (on a congress), for indications whether objective expliciting should be granted anew a solid position in client-centered therapy. The author reasons that these indications can be found indeed, and concludes that measuring and (intuitive) knowing can strenghen each other in such a way that client-centered therapy can be brought on a satisfactory level of Evidence Based Mental Health
