This book addresses empathy within the scope of clinical practice with per se approaches that include working within unique therapeutic treatment milieus, treating children, adolescents, the elderly, and families, and providing empathy within the framework of established intervention models. Various themes are also explored such as the interrelationship of empathy with love, self-awareness, and self-transformation, as well as the use of specific techniques, such as writing, to foster empathy.
