introduction
In this book, we’ll explore the necessary and sufficient conditions that must be present in this triadic relationship, before it can give rise
to an empathic conversation.
Through the use of diagrams, essays, personal stories, and conversations, as well as animated shorts, installations, physical models, performances, and video sketches, I have explored and modeled the phenomena of empathic conversation, not merely to hypothesize how it works, but also to empower ourselves to devise better courses of action aimed at being more deliberate, effective, and efficient in the engagement, sustenance, and facilitation of such conversations.
