Empathy is a widely used term, but it is also difficult to define.
In recent years, the field of cognitive neuroscience has made
impressive strides in identifying neural networks in the brain
related to or triggered by empathy. Still, what exactly do we mean
when we say that someone has-or lacks-empathy? How is empathy
distinguished from sympathy or pity? And is society truly suffering
from an "empathy deficit," as some experts have charged?? In
Assessing Empathy, Elizabeth A. Segal and colleagues marshal years
of research to present a comprehensive definition of empathy, one
that links neuroscientific evidence to human service practice. The
book begins with a discussion of our current understanding of
empathy in neurological, biological, and behavioral terms. The
authors explain why empathy is important on both the individual and
societal levels. They then introduce the concepts of interpersonal
empathy and social empathy, and how these processes can interrelate
or operate separately. Finally, they examine the weaknesses of
extant empathy assessments before introducing three new, validated
measures: the Empathy Assessment Index, the Social Empathy Index,
and the Interpersonal and Social Empathy Index.
