7.4. Additional information: Re-experiencing Methods in Psychology and
Psychotherapy
Re-experiencing, a key process in Empathic Exploration (and also the Re-processes Tasks of Chapter 10), has a long history in psychology, in the form of exposure therapy (e.g.., Foa & Rothbaum, 1997), research on episodic or autobiographical memory (Singer & Salovey, 1993), and the use of personal recollection in narrative and qualitative research (Reissman, 1993).
