Description
What is empathy? Is it a basic human characteristic? Is there a biological basis for it? How does it work in therapy? Is it a necessary condition for therapeutic change? Sheila Haugh and Tony Merry have assembled a formidable collection of distinguished writers from Client-Centred Therapy and the Person-Centred Approach to help the serious student examine these and other important questions.
