<br/><br/>1. Empathy is crucial to helping--2. The problem: Professional helpers, including nurses, do not normally display much empathy--3. Analysis: Empathy has not been measured in clients' terms and accordingly taught--4. Solution, Part 1: A reliable and valid client-centred empathy scale has now been developed--5. Solution, Part 2: Using this scale, a course has been developed which does help nurses to show empathy--6. Summary and implications: Such a course may help others to learn as well. 
<br/><br/> The author emphasises throughout this text the importance of learning from the experience of doing. The focus is on empathy in the nurse/patient situation and the way it can be identified and as far as possible, taught.
