However, positive regard is the least well-researched and most misunderstood of the three conditions. It has long been conceived as a potential ingredient in the formation and development of an effective therapeutic relationship, but many therapists in recent decades have considered positive regard a dubious ingredient, too oblivious to human frailty and malevolence, and too susceptible to a therapist's potential for collusion with patients' defenses and resistance to change. \u003cp\u003e Written for a variety of psychotherapists, this book offers an investigation into the efficacy of positive regard by examining its history, evolution, misperceptions, criticisms, and value. The authors argue for a broader acceptance of the role of positive regard across diverse patients and therapies. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Psychological Association (APA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47572518535319,"sku":"9781433836695","price":5747.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781433836695.webp?v=1774890194","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/understanding-and-enhancing-positive-regard-in-psychotherapy-carl-rogers-and-beyond-9781433836695","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
