January 15, 2021 — Empathy
[39 pages]
This class will explore the process of empathy as a means of accessing another’s psychological state, by feeling oneself into the other’s experience. Empathy is also means of data collection and a self-sustaining experience for the patient. Additionally, we will explore more contemporary views that push the envelope from empathy as a depth-oriented technique toward more authentic feeling states that present within a treatment.
