Exceptionally comprehensive review of Empathy and Altruism, September 28, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Empathy: A Social Psychological Approach (Social Psychology Series) (Paperback)
This exceptional academic book should be considered a benchmark in the research on the social psychology of empathy and altruism. Covering both the affective and cognitive, individual differences, origins, and interpersonal aspects of empathy, this book summerizes completely and clearly nummerous theories in this area. Dr. Davis writes in a clearly knowledgeable style that is both compelling and humorous. This is definately a must for any psychologist in the area of interpersonal relations, and for anyone looking to understand the kindness and understanding that is exhibited by humanity.
