"Empathy is the skill of reflecting back to another person the emotions he or she is expressing so that he or she feels heard and understood." opendoors.Com

Defining Empathy

Empathy involves listening to clients, understanding them . .. ... and communicating this understanding to them so that they might understand themselves more fully and act of their understanding. Eagan (1994)

Defining Empathy

The word "empathy" is actually a poor and misleading translation of the German word "einfuhlung" . the correct translation would be "in feeling" or "feeling into something". Judy Harrow (1996)
