Empathy and Counseling Outcome: An Empirical and Conceptual Review

Gladstein, Gerald A.

Counseling Psychologist, 6, 4, 70-77, 77

Although many counselor training programs now include empathy skill training as a requirement, this author feels that counselor preparation programs should be more cautious in emphasizing the role of empathy in counseling. The author reviews the literature and discusses the lack of clear evidence in favor of empathy training. (Author/BP)
