Empathie als Kompetenz

Is empathy learnable? The affect resonance training (ART) developed by Johann Steinberger offers students and trainees in psychosocial professions the opportunity to develop competence in empathic understanding of themselves and others. Based on new concepts of empathy, resonance, and supervision, this forward-looking teaching method serves as an effective tool for violence prevention through the training of social skills. Steinberger explains the theoretical background of his concept and provides clear instructions for application in teaching based on the results of his empirical effectiveness study.
