Abstract

The Focusing Partnerships is an experiential-person-centered model for the encounter between two people for the purpose of mutual support through the practice of Focusing and Empathic Listening. More specifically, the focusing partnerships model is one of several contributions made by the philosopher and psychotherapist Eugene Gendlin based on his work in the clinical area. The article reviews the history of how this model of mutual support was forged, its structure is described in detail, its principles, pattern and operating recommendations are indicated, ways of self-training in its practice are consigned, and its benefits and potentials as a “new social institution” are highlighted.
