When analysts do disclose about themselves, they think carefully about the impact of this disclosure on the patient. This does not mean that the analyst is cold and uncaring. Rather, the analyst is empathic with the patient's experience and feeling. By understanding the patient's feelings and encouraging free association rather than responding directly to the patient's feelings (anger, hurt, happiness, and so forth), the analyst allows a transference relationship (feelings about the analyst) to develop. Perhaps no analytical theorist stresses the importance of empathy as a means of observing the patient in analysis more than has Kohut. Hedges (1992) gives an example of Kohut's description of empathizing
