Concentrating on humility, empathy, and rebirth, Sándor Ferenczi’s compassionate psychology attunes itself to the fundamentals of the human condition. Unlike Freud, Ferenczi did not dismiss reports of abuse in childhood but listened in an effort to heal the wounds. Ferenczi’s work with traumatized individuals reflected his nonhierarchical approach to the therapeutic relationship while his empathic method posits the transformation of the analyst as well as the client. Examined here as a metapsychology, Ferenczi’s theory has correlates with modern scientific research and the philosophy of ancient civilizations. Because his psychology is congruent with aspects of linguistics; mathematics; chaos theory; catastrophe theory; Greek philosophy; Jewish, Christian, and Buddhist religious thought; humanistic psychology (especially client-centered therapy); initiation rituals; and shamanic practices, it demonstrates the universality of his ideas.
