Abstrakt:	This paper explains how acceptance and empathy are vehicles for psychotherapeutic change by showing how these factors function in nondirective client-centered therapy. The paper argues that because the nondirective client-centered therapist's unconditional positive regard may conflict with the client's conditional self-regard, the therapy cultivates a novel restructuring of the client's narrative. By revealing how positive therapeutic change can result from the interplay of unconditional positive regard and empathy, the article explains the effectiveness of classical client-centered therapy in particular and accounts at least in part for the effectiveness of other therapies that stress the healing properties of the psychotherapeutic relationship.
