    AbstractAt the beginning the author presents the definitions of antipathy, sympathy, empathy and syntony as different types of human interrelations. Then he recalls the kinds of physician-patient relations and discusses the antipathy, especially sympathy and empathy appearing in those relations. At the end the author proves the superiority of empathy over sympathy in the solution of problems of medical practice to the advantage of both the patients and the physicians.
