Purpose and Overview
This lecture introduces relationalism as a foundational lens for understanding therapeutic empathy in adult medical care.

Participants will learn to identify sociological, spiritual, and philosophical dimensions of relationalism and to apply the affective, cognitive, and behavioral components of empathy in clinical practice; therapeutic value and risks are reviewed. Practical communication frameworks are introduced as a means of supporting effective, sustainable clinician–patient relation
