Summary:

"Empathy is a multi-layered process. Kindness and caring are important, but it is the therapist who facilitates introspection that moves the relationship to an even deeper level. However, and ultimately, it is accurate interpretation by the clinician and accompanying insight on the part of the patient that reflects the deepest form of empathic connection. For Kohut, truly knowing someone and providing them the opportunity to know themselves is the foundation of insight, behavior change and self-integration. Clinicians watching Kohut's parting gift, so to speak, will take away a greater sense of appreciation of the limits and potential of therapeutic empathy"-- Supplied by publisher
