Answer to Question 1a
Unconditional Positive Regard – Congruence – Empathy
Unconditional Positive Regard means to me, putting no conditions on the working relationship between you and the client, it's looking for and bringing out the positive side of the client. Showing you care, to listen in a none- judgemental caring way. It's allowing the client to talk about what ever they wish at that moment without feeling judged. Regard, to make the client feel equal to show your interest and care.
Congruence and Empathy Understanding congruence and empathy is putting yourself in the clients shoes. Congruence, to be honest and open with the client and for them to feel they are on the same level, this will hopefully allow the client to be more open, it's about being real and genuine it's about being there and showing you care. I believe these conditions are needed to make change, without these conditions being present a healing relationship cannot form. An empathic understanding is established through active listening to the client, really understanding as if you were the client showing genuineness understand and being there to give support.
Unconditional positive regard
Jamie mother : I would find this character quite difficult to demonstrate unconditional positive regard, its because that she seems to hold very different opposing views to myself. Personally has a career woman who has run her own business and values education, I would find it challenging to try to approach someone on the same level and with such deep rooted old-fashioned views.
Congruence
Isabel : I would find it quite easy to display congruence with Isabel. I have the same views i.e. I would not terminate a pregnancy as myself being a mother, I know the kind of thoughts and feelings that Isabel's would be experiencing about this issue.
