Summary:

"Investigating the myriad ways in which Carl Rogers and other clinicians could convey positive regard (PR), the variables affecting its perceived intensity and frequency of occurrence and its association to therapeutic outcome became the focus of the Positive Regard lab at Teachers College. The author and a host of doctoral- and master's-level psychology students participating in the lab-were interested in finding multiple ways of exploring these topics: case studies, interviews with clients and therapists, development of new assessment instruments to measure PR, survey research, and meta-analyses. In one sense, then, this book represents the next logical step in the sequence of their investigations of PR: synthesizing in one volume the studies their lab and others have conducted on this topic in recent years and augmenting this empirical focus with case examples. In another sense, this book seems particularly appropriate now-a time when there seems to be a paucity of goodwill and acceptance of others in the world, a time when a consideration of the ways in which PR can be conveyed in the clinical realm and beyond might be a meaningful professional contribution. Authors, with a more eclectic stance regarding clinical research and practice, offer what they believe is a more balanced, objective, and research-oriented approach to the place of PR in the practice of psychotherapy. They provide therapists across a variety of theoretical orientations new ways of understanding PR and adopting this stance in clinical practice."--Preface (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
