Internal Frame of Reference An internal frame involves doing what they want to do and using their own thoughts, feeling and frames as the authority. They take action without needing permission or approval from others (or even imaginary others).
A frame of reference is a complex set of assumptions and attitudes which we use to filter perceptions to create meaning. The frame can include beliefs , schemas, preferences, values, culture and other ways in which we bias our understanding and judgment.
These conditions can be expressed in plain English as follows: The counsellor is congruent (genuine). The counsellor experiences unconditional positive regard (UPR) – non-judgmental warmth and acceptance – towards the client. The counsellor feels empathy towards the client.
The three core conditions, empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence, present a considerable challenge to the person-centred practitioner, for they are not formulated as skills to be acquired, but rather as personal attitudes or attributes ‘experienced’ by the therapist, as well as communicated to the
Such a system is known as a Newtonian, or inertial reference , frame . A coordinate system attached to the Earth is not an inertial reference frame because the Earth rotates and is accelerated with respect to the Sun.
There are two types of observational reference frame: inertial and non-inertial. An inertial frame of reference is defined as one in which all laws of physics take on their simplest form. In special relativity these frames are related by Lorentz transformations, which are parametrized by rapidity.
Frames of Reference serve a valuable purpose, because they enable us to take in a wide variety of information, and process it based on our past experience and values. In fact, an individual’s Frame of Reference promotes life-stability and quicker decision making.
Frame of reference is the way a person perceives the world and their surroundings. Frame of reference comes from: parents, teachers, experiences, culture, education, and the media.
A frame of reference is a set of coordinates that can be used to determine positions and velocities of objects in that frame ; different frames of reference move relative to one another. This means that we can address problems in any reference frame to give an equivalent solution.

Person-centred values These are the guiding principles that help to put the interests of the individual receiving care or support at the centre of everything we do. Examples include: individuality, independence, privacy, partnership, choice, dignity, respect and rights.
The first three conditions are empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard. These first three conditions are called the core conditions , sometimes referred to as the ‘facilitative conditions ‘ or the ‘client’s conditions ‘. In other words, they are the conditions that the client needs for the therapy to work.
The four principles of person-centred care are: Treat people with dignity , compassion, and respect . Provide coordinated care, support, and treatment. Offer personalised care, support, and treatment.
The five bedrock principles of autonomy, justice, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and fidelity are each vital in and of themselves to a healthy counseling relationship. By exploring an ethical dilemma with regard to these principles , a counselor may come to a better understanding of the conflicting issues.
Unconditional positive regard ( UPR ) is unconditional acceptance, love, or affection. The term is credited to the humanist psychologist Carl Rogers. Many therapists advocate giving their clients unconditional positive regard as part of the therapeutic process.
