In this thorough revision, updating, and expansion of his great
2007 book, Empathy in Patient Care, Professor Hojat offers all of
us in healthcare education an uplifting magnum opus that is sure to
greatly enhance how we conceptualize, measure, and teach the
central professional virtue of empathy. Hojat's new Empathy in
Health Professions Education and Patient Care provides students and
professionals across healthcare with the most scientifically
rigorous, conceptually vivid, and comprehensive statement ever
produced proving once and for all what we all know intuitively -
empathy is healing both for those who receive it and for those who
give it. This book is filled with great science, great
philosophizing, and great 'how to' approaches to education. Every
student and practitioner in healthcare today should read this and
keep it by the bedside in a permanent place of honor. Stephen G
Post, Ph.D., Professor of Preventive Medicine, and Founding
Director of the Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care,
and Bioethics, School of Medicine, Stony Brook University Dr. Hojat
has provided, in this new edition, a definitive resource for the
evolving area of empathy research and education. For those engaged
in medical student or resident education and especially for those
dedicated to efforts to improve the patient experience, this book
is a treasure trove of primary work in the field of empathy.
Leonard H. Calabrese, D.O., Professor of Medicine, Cleveland Clinic
Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University The
latest edition of Empathy in Health Professions Education and
Patient Care grounds the clinical art of empathic caring in the
newly recognized contributions of brain imagery and social
cognitive neuroscience. Furthermore, it updates the accumulating
empirical evidence for the clinical effects of empathy that has
been facilitated by the widespread use of the Jefferson Scale of
Empathy, a generative contribution to clinical research by this
book's author. In addition, the book is so coherently structured
that each chapter contributes to an overall understanding of
empathy, while also covering its subject so well that it could
stand alone. This makes Empathy in Health Professions Education and
Patient Care an excellent choice for clinicians, students,
educators and researchers. Herbert Adler, M.D., Ph.D. Clinical
Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior,Sidney Kimmel Medical
College at Thomas Jefferson University It is my firm belief that
empathy as defined and assessed by Dr. Hojat in his seminal book
has far reaching implications for other areas of human interaction
including business, management, government, economics, and
international relations. Amir H. Mehryar, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor
of Behavioral Sciences and Population Studies, Institute for
Research and Training in Management and Planning, Tehran, Iran
