Excellent

"The book is an excellent contribution to the field. It helps to bridge the dichotomy between empathy as a cognition and empathy as an emotion, by reviewing the body of literature and looking through the various methodologies and strategies. Dr. Fernandez & her contributors have set the standard for future examinations of empathy. The text, chapter by chapter, is the richest collection of writing on he topic to be found anywhere. I plan to share this book with students, collegues and clinical psychology trainees." by Jack Apsche, Ed.D., ABPP
