Book excerpt: Drawing extensively on the work of Carl Rogers and his own experience, Vincent, a specialist in the person-centered approach in therapies, analyzes the therapist's role in empathy, whether creating an environment for it, practicing it, encouraging clients to develop it, or accepting it from others. Vincent concentrates on the concepts posited by Rogers, but includes commentary on his own experience in such topics as why empathetic understanding is not a technique, how it functions in the necessary and specific conditions, and what it does in the therapeutic process. In the process he is very honest about conscious empathy in both its potential and its pitfalls. Annotation : 2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
