Summary/Abstract: The conference discussesd the rehabilitation of love and empathy in psychotherapy, emphasizing the importance of a compassionate and emotionally open therapist. It contrasts this approach with a more detached, professional interest in patients. The text references Erich Fromm's ideas on biofilic orientation and the healing power of loving participation. It highlights the therapeutic benefits of empathy, such as improved post-operative healing and reduced arterial sclerosis. The document also critiques orthodox psychoanalysis for its emphasis on standard techniques over empathetic engagement. It advocates for a shift towards a more humanistic and loving approach in psychotherapy, aligning with the original, untainted perception of the world by a newborn child. The text concludes by discussing the challenges and importance of maintaining an empathetic stance in therapeutic practice.
