Institutt for Empatisk Kommunikasjon

This film demonstrates how to build a meaningful dialog both in everyday life (with family, friends, colleagues) as well as in professional relationships. This example of "empathic communication" is an arranged dialog between two people in a hospital: "John" -- the patient, and a nurse (represented by Lisbeth Holter Brudal). The dialog -- or this tool of communication -- is based on psychological research and knowledge about the value and importance of empathy for further development of our culture. "Empathic Communication" is a relatively simple method which is easy to adopt and practice. The dialog is developed by dr. philos., specialist in clinical psychology and author Lisbeth Holter Brudal, Oslo, Norway. It has been widely used for several years in educating health professionals, teachers, leaders, family workers and ministers in a congregation in Norway. Lisbeth Holter Brudal has been awarded with The King´s Medal of Merit in Gold. (Video produced by Ronny and Katrine Yttrehus, Oslo, Norway).
