In the words of Rogers (1975), accurate empathic understanding is as follows: "IfI am truly open to the way life is experienced by another person.if I can take his or her world into mine, then I risk seeing life in his or her way.and ofbeing changed myself, and we all resist change. Empathic understanding implies thatthe therapist will sense the client's feelings as if they were his or her ownwithout becoming lost in those feelings (Corey, 1986). In short, thetherapist needs an attitude of "I'll accept you as you are."Īccording to Rogers (1977), research indicates that, the greater the degreeof caring, prizing, accepting, and valuing the client in a nonpossessive way,the greater the chance that therapy will be successful.BUT, it is not possiblefor therapists to genuinely feel acceptance and unconditional caring at alltimes (Corey, 1986).Īccurate Empathic Understanding: This refers to the therapist's abilityto understand sensitively and accurately the client'sexperience and feelings in the here-and-now. The therapist may not approve of some of theclient's actions but the therapist does approve of the client. Unconditional Positive Regard (UPR): This refers to the therapist's deepand genuine caring for the client. Instead, the person-centered model assumes that,if therapists are congruent in the relationship with the client, then theprocess of therapy will get under way.Congruence exists on a continuum ratherthan on an all-or-nothing basis (Corey, 1986). Since therapists are also human, they cannot beexpected to be fully authentic. ![]() However, Rogers'concept of congruence does not imply that only a fully self-actualized therapist can be effective incounseling (Corey, 1986). This authenticity functions as amodel of a human being struggling toward greater realness. The therapist does not havea facade, that is, the therapist's internal and external experiences are one inthe same. Rogers Three Characteristics/Attributes Needed for Client-TherapistRelationshipĪccording to Rogers (1977), three characteristics, or attributes, of thetherapist form the core part of the therapeutic relationship - congruence,unconditional positive regard (UPR) and accurate empathic understanding.Ĭongruence: Congruence is the most important attribute, according to Rogers.This implies that the therapist is real and/or genuine, open, integrated andauthentic during their interactions with the client. ![]()
