Developing Empathy Summary

Developing Empathy: A Biopsychosocial Approach to Understanding Compassion for Therapists and Parents by Katharina Manassis (The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario, Canada)

Empathy is valued across cultures, and has a profound impact on psychotherapy, our children, and our world. Why then are many human relationships not empathetic? This volume describes in detail the neurobiological, psychological, and social elements involved with empathy. Ideas are brought to life with case examples and reflective questions which help the reader learn ways to overcome empathetic barriers. The book shows how fear, anger, and anxiety all take away the power to feel for others, while also looking at the topic through a global lens. Developing Empathy is an easy-read book, backed by science, useful to the clinician, and to all readers interested in the topic.

Developing Empathy Reviews

In this comprehensive and highly readable book, Katharina Manassis offers a compelling examination of empathy and compassion that skillfully integrates science and practice. The clarity, breadth of coverage, case material, and candid self-disclosure makes this a highly readable and compelling resource that will appeal to a broad audience including parents, clinical professionals, and advanced trainees.-Arlene Young, PhD, C.Psych., associate professor of psychology, director of clinical training, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario

Dr. Manassis has provided an eloquent must read book on Empathy for all Psychiatrists and Mental Health Professionals. It is a brilliant, lucid, and practical look at Empathy using a bio-psychosocial lens replete with many clinical case descriptions as well as a courageous self disclosure into the author's personal life. There are 12 valuable chapters, each complemented with a collection of key references and exercises for the serious student to enjoy.-T.C.R. Wilkes, B.Sc., M.B., ChB., M. Phil., D.C.H., F.R.C.P.
