Abstract
In ths paper I outline my development over fifty years as a therapist, researcher and theorist. I started with empathy as a core helping process seeing it as a moment-bymoment information processing aid as well as a provision of the curative effects of human understanding. Over the years I added a focus on emotion as central to change, and proposed a number of necessary distinctions that needed to be made when working with emotion and concluded that one of the best ways to change emotion was with another emotion. In addition to my focus on moment by moment process I saw that identification of in-session experiential states and case formulation went beyond just being in the moment and helped provide more focus to an essentially phenomenologically based experiential approach.
