本文阐述了如何同情可以融入咨询心理学实践，以增加对社会正义的承诺。借鉴人道主义的存在主义范式，主张道德的首要地位，同情的多层次的理解，探讨其对从业者的影响。首先，作为对他人痛苦的承认，同情意味着意识到从治疗师-来访者二元关系延伸到包括他们所属的更广泛社区的关系动态。第二，作为对痛苦的欣赏，同情心通过分享他人的经验来表达联系，同时揭示了客户成长的内在潜力。第三，同情作为一种接近痛苦的他人的途径，暴露了威胁治疗关系的社会权力动态。第四，作为对他人痛苦的回应的接受，同情需要拥抱在会见客户时唤起的自我和人际经验。第五，作为对他人痛苦的缓解，同情心成为一种基于价值的实践的表达，可以推动将心理治疗视为一种基于连通性的人际过程的转变，以促进愈合。因此，同情心被提出作为社会公正的心理咨询伦理学的基础.
This article articulates how compassion can be integrated into counseling psychology practice to augment the commitment to social justice. Drawing on a humanistic–existential paradigm that asserts the primacy of ethics, a multilayered understanding of compassion is explored in its implication for practitioners. First, as acknowledgment of the other’s suffering, compassion means being aware of the relational dynamics that extends from the therapist–client dyad to include the wider communities to which they belong. Second, as appreciation for suffering as an existential given, compassion expresses connectedness through the shared experience of otherness while revealing the inherent potential toward growth in clients. Third, as access to the suffering other, compassion exposes the societal power dynamics that threaten the therapeutic relationship. Fourth, as acceptance of the response to the suffering other, compassion requires to embrace the intrapersonal and interpersonal experience evoked in meeting clients. Fifth, as alleviation of the other’s suffering, compassion becomes the expression of a value-based practice that can drive the shift that sees psychotherapy as an interpersonal process based on connectedness to foster healing. Therefore, compassion is put forward as the foundation of counseling psychology ethics of social justice.
