Meta-technology is the technology that governs other technologies. Relying on the tetrad of principles of psychological counseling which were highlighted by the C. R. Rogers’ school, the author examines their manifestations and peculiarities in three basic aspects of counseling interaction measurement: power, competence, love, — transformational, dialogical and relational intentions, as well as in relation to life of the consultant in general.
