Dear armaninla-ga,

Good day!

The therapist is demonstrating "unconditional positive regard". It
means that the therapist must genuinely like the client. The therapist
need not approve of the client's behavior but must be abled to
distinguish between the sin and the sinner.

Unconditional positive regard is one of the four characteristics
identified by the Carl Rogers as being of more importance than the
therapist's philosophy or technique. The other three characteristics
are
i) congruence
ii) empathy
iii) learn from client
