Maieutics is a method of teaching introduced by Socrates. It is based on the idea that the truth is latent in the mind of every human being due to his innate reason but has to be "given birth" by questions asked by the teacher and answers given by the student.


The word is derived from the Greek "maieutikos", pertaining to midwifery.

The Truth Will Emerge (3137 words)
This process is philosophically connected with the Socratic maieutics of soul-body, to the Alcmeonic-Pythagorean "isonomia" (life principle), to the orphic-dionysian cycle of life of Eros and Psyche (Love for the Living Soul, for the psycho-soma in well-being).
The client-therapist relationship is egalitarian and empathic, based upon mutual respect and acceptance, even though, especially at the beginning of therapy, it is indicative (rather than directive) of the psycho-somatic ethic.
This means that the psychotherapist does not just propose or impose a healthy model of his own on the client, but adopts the maieutic attitude, letting the client rediscover his own way to health.
