Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Empathy. Empathy is the ability to understand what the client is feeling. This refers to the therapist’s ability to understand sensitively and accurately [but not sympathetically] the client’s experience and feelings in the here-and-now.

Detailed explanation-2: -Countertransference refers to the transference of a therapist’s personal thoughts and feelings onto a client. This can be a problem, but modern psychotherapy recognizes that there are also helpful forms of countertransference.

The person-centered philosophy views diagnosis as: a labeling process that diminishes the therapist’s ability to develop a holistic understanding of the client.
