The term "emotional availability" has evolved primarily in therapeutic contexts where it refers to the sensitive engagement of the therapist in the patient's narrative of life experiences and openness to the patient's emotional expressions (Emde 1980). In the therapeutic situation, emotional availability refers to the quality of the therapist in supporting the growth or development of the patient. It is anticipated that the outcome of the therapeutic experience will include an enhanced capacity for reciprocal emotional availability with others.
