Where can I find informations concerning client's willingness to express emotions during psychotherapy as the signal about his readiness to work on the solution of the problem which leads to behaviour change?
Dear Marta,
Check this out:
Ready, willing and able to change: motivational aspects of the assessment and treatment of eating disorders
Janet Treasure* and Ulrike Schmidt
European Eating Disorders Review
Volume 9, Issue 1, pages 4–18, January/February 2001
I would recommend to read some reviews on theoretical background of Motivational Interviewing.
Below some references concerning your question.

Thanks for your very interesting question, Marta. I appreciated Beatrice's and Michael's excellent input. Along with motivational interviewing (MI) by Miller and Rollnick (2012), I'd recommend the Stages of Change (SOC) of The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) by Prochaska & DiClemente, (1983) and Prochaska, DiClemente, & Norcross (1992) for assessing the client's readiness and motivation to change.
Mr Cheung thank you for you answer. In articles you've recommended I found informations I need. Thank you so much.
