unconditional positive regard

Answer 1

unconditional positive regard

Step-by-step explanation:

Having an experience of unconditional positive regard for another person means warmly accepting every aspect of that person's experience. It means not placing conditions for the acceptance or appreciation of this person. Unconditional positive consideration implies non-possessive caring, a way of appreciating the other as an individualized person who is allowed to have his own feelings, his own experiences.

Rogers realized that unconditional positive consideration creates a comfortable, judgment-free environment for his patients. This provides the therapeutic environment with an essential atmosphere for patients to better deal with their problems.
