	Unconditional positive regard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unconditional positive regard (UPR) is a concept in client-centered therapy.
		Unconditional positive regard means that implies the belief of the therapist (termed a counselor by Rogers) that the client is worthy and capable, even when the client may not act or feel that way.
		To practice unconditional positive regard, whilst maintaining congruence at all times, means that the therapist’s feedback has to be specific because it is no use the clinician merely saying that they care about the patient.

	UNCONDITIONAL Love & Acceptance

		Unconditional Positive Regard is not something you can expect of yourself immediately.
