Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Question restatement: The prompt asks which option demonstrates the unconditional positive regard component of client-centered therapy.
Option 1: 'Xavier receives a hug from the doctor when he arrives on time; he does not get a hug when he arrives late.' This depicts contingent positive regard, where the therapist's support depends on Xavier's behavior (punctuality). It does not illustrate unconditional acceptance regardless of actions.
Option 2: 'Boris tells his therapist that that he needs stronger medication and his therapist prescribes it.' This scenario shows clinical intervention and pharmacological treatment decisions, not the nonjudgmental acceptance of the person as a whole. It misses the core Rogerian idea of unconditional regard toward the client.
Option 3: 'Abby tells her therapist that she tripped a small child who got in her way, and her therapist accepts this information without judgment.' This exactly aligns with unconditional positive regard: the therapist holds no judgment about Abby's disclosures and maintains unconditional acceptance of the client as a person, regardless of the behavior described.
Option 4: 'Natasha is late for her therapy session and her therapist believes she did this because she unconsciously dislikes therapy.' This reflects attribution or interpretation about the client's motivation, which introduces judgment and interpretation rather than accepting the client without conditions.
In sum, the core idea of unconditional positive regard is accepting and valuing the client without judgment, no matter what is shared. The only option that embodies this is the one where the therapist remains nonjudgmental after Abby discloses the action, fulfilling the unconditional acceptance aspect of client-centered therapy.
