Abstract
Empathy is one of the facilitative conditions (humanistic approach; see Rogers, 1957) that supports the development of constructive and effective relationships. From a phenomenological viewpoint, empathy can be defined as the intuitive experience and understanding of the emotional state of another person while the self-and-other-distinction is sustained. Empathy thus comprises affective (i.e., one’s own emotional response) and cognitive (i.e., understanding other’s thoughts and feelings) components. In research, empathy is not only the capacity to experience and to understand the emotional state of another person, but also to communicate that understanding in a way that is aligned with feelings of that other individual.
