Abstract
The synopsis of my article, Empathy: The Wonder Quality of Mental Health Tr eatment, hopefully will give voice to a very important facet of therapeutic skill. I wanted to give food for thought to the many dedicated, overburder ed therapists. Perhaps a person who is not affected by mental illness can l ose sight of its enormity, its paralyzing effect on daily living. Perhaps a good therapist can become an excellent therapist with a more empathetic ap proach.
