Identification and its Relation to Empathy, Communication, and Speech: Part I

Abstract

This paper continues the thesis of the writer's A New Theory of Empathy and Its Relation to Identification, published in the September 1963 issue of the Journal of Asthma Research. To conserve space, we will not repeat here any of the material developed in that paper, except occasionally barely to refer to a datum point. For all practical purposes, this is a continuation and expansion of the first paper, an attempt to amplify and clarify the relation of the new theory of empathy in that paper proffered, to the concept of identification.
