• POSITIVE REGARD
IS THE NEED TO BE LIKED, PRIZED, OR ACCEPTED BY
ANOTHER PERSON. WHEN THIS NEED EXISTS WITHOUT ANY
CONDITIONS OR QUALIFICATIONS, UNCONDITIONAL POSITIVE REGARD
OCCURS (ROGERS, 1980).
EMPATHIC LISTENING
• EMPATHY EXISTS WHEN THERAPISTS ACCURATELY SENSE THE FEELINGS
OF THEIR CLIENTS AND ARE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE THESE
PERCEPTIONS SO THAT CLIENTS KNOW THAT ANOTHER PERSON HAS
ENTERED THEIR WORLD OF FEELINGS WITHOUT PREJUDICE,
PROJECTION, OR EVALUATION.
BASIC ASSUMPTIONS
• PEOPLE ARE TRUSTWORTHY AND HAVE VAST POTENTIALS FOR
UNDERSTANDING THEMSELVES.
• PEOPLE ARE CAPABLE OF SOLVING THEIR OWN PROBLEM.
• LOCATE POWER IN THE PERSON NOT IN THE THERAPIST.
• PEOPLE ARE NOT SIMPLY HELPED BY ADVICE.
• CLIENT IS THE PRIMARY VEHICLE FOR INNER GROWTH AND
CONSTRUCTIVE CHANGE.
IMPLICATION TO SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE
• The theory would serve as a guiding principle in our practice in
understanding and relating with our clients, it will help us to come up
with a better understanding and to formulate proper interventions that
would easily promote client-worker relationship to achieve successful
helping process.
• The therapy methods would also be essential in our practice to easily
address and treat the “problems in living” of the person.
