Evidence from several realms of knowledge, scholarship, and psychoanalytic practice informs us that emotional communication is a function of mirror neurons and the process of mirroring.

Major psychoanalytic constructs such as transference, countertransference, projective identification, and induced feelings take on additional validity in light of these studies. The implications for understanding these constructs are examined.
