Empathy is the theoretical and philosophical foundation of self-psychological treatment. By emphasizing empathy as the primary methodology for collecting data about our patients, Kohut subtly, but dramatically, shifted psychoanalysis from Freud's theory-based treatment to a patient-centered treatment in which there is a profound shift in the analyst's listening perspective. This chapter explores the implications of such a shift in our listening perspective for both psychoanalytic treatment and developmental understanding. Using verbatim dialogue from both patient-therapist interactions and parent-child interactions, it delineates empathy's important role in therapeutic healing as well as its growth-promoting functions in a child's development.
共情是自体心理学治疗的理论和哲学基础。通过强调共情作为收集患者资料的主要方法，科胡特微妙但显著地将精神分析从基于弗洛伊德理论的治疗转变为以患者为中心的治疗，在这种治疗中，分析师的倾听视角发生了深刻转变。本章探讨了这种倾听视角的转变对精神分析治疗和发展理解的影响。通过使用患者与治疗师互动以及亲子互动中的逐字对话，它阐述了共情在治疗治愈中的重要作用以及在儿童发展中的促进成长功能。
