Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In person-centred therapy, non-judgemental acceptance of all feelings the patient expresses is known as unconditional positive regard. This means the therapist shows unconditional acceptance and support towards the client, regardless of what they reveal or say during therapy. The therapist must remain non-judgemental and provide a safe environment for the client to feel able to express themselves openly. Unconditional negative regard (B) would be the opposite, where the therapist would only show negative feelings towards the client. Unconditional bipositive regard (A) and unconditional neutral regard (D) are not terms used in person-centred therapy.
