Empathy Annotated Bibliography

Using Empathy in Everyday Life In Harper Lee’s book “To Kill a Mockingbird”, two children and their father (a lawyer) in a small town defending an innocent black man in court. The narrator's perspective of the town and the people has changes throughout the story by experiences she had. People will understand how you feel after something has happened in your life once it happens in theirs. The kids go to Mrs. Dubose’s house when their dad tells them to go read to her.

It is what makes people want to live another day. Empathizing with another person may be challenging, but it will make a tremendous difference in the end. Empathizing with someone else makes their life easier and helps them to feel better about their situation. Empathy is essential, helps us to learn to not be judgmental, and makes the world

Empathy can be defined as “the feeling that you understand and share another person's experiences and emotions” (Merriam Webster). After reading Montana 1948, I feel more empathy for people who struggle to follow the law versus providing justice. At the time of Marie Little Soldier’s murder, the Hayden family had known about Frank’s inappropriate behaviors with Indians for years. Furthermore, at a family dinner Julian Hayden admits that “Frank’s always been partial to red mean.” (62-63).

That might not seem like like anything at first, but surprisingly, the lack of empathy versus the complete lack of empathy can change things up.

In the article “The Psychopath, The Altruist, And The Rest of Us” by Alison Gopnik, the author provides facts in the form of studies to convince the readers that psychopaths and altruists are a different kind of personality that may seem alien to us. Psychopaths are people who feel little to no sympathy for another person, while in contrast, altruists are people who feel “too much” sympathy for everyone. Gopnik’s analytical article reveals that most of us fall in the middle of the two spectrums of psychopaths and altruists, which can make us feel uneasy and guilty at times. She first describes a killing spree committed by Scott Johnson in Michigan and how he felt no remorse.

The limits to our empathy can be resolved and Waytz contributes practical solutions to them at the end of his article. He suggests sharing

The paradigm related to the value of Sympathy and Empathy is Social Empathy. "A social empathy paradigm provides a framework with which to analyze social concerns and develop policies that reflect the lived experiences of people" (Segal, 2016, p. 76). Programs to better serve the community are a result of Social Empathy. Mission and vision statements of programs such as AIDS and LGBTQ foundation is built on empathy, offering support and education to the community, members and their family. It is difficult to identify what types of supportive services such as counseling, housing, groups and funding without having a true understanding of population needs.

The world needs more empathy. Empathy is not really shown around us. What the word “empathy” means is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. S.E. Hinton created empathy by showing two sides of the story in The Outsiders, and Eugenia W. Collier created empathy throughout life events in ‘’Marigolds.’’

Summary of Carl Rogers Empathy Video In Carl Rogers’s empathy video, he describes the need for not just repeating what a patient or individual says, but truly trying to view their life through their eyes. In doing this you gain a much deeper understanding of the person. You are able to communicate more accurately with them, and also form a stronger bond of trust with the individual. Having empathy for the person can cause them to feel more accepted, and in turn help them accept themselves.

Empathy -- to step outside of one’s emotions and submerge within another’s. To the chagrin of the global community, there is a prominent deficit of that inherent attribute. Arguably, a growing population has fallen as victims to passive, unconscious emotions and fail to see the importance of radiating empathy within their everyday lives. Yet through the sea of indifference lies literature that teaches the significance of empathy, one being Harper Lee’s unforgettable novel: To Kill a Mockingbird.

Empathy is the ability to place oneself into or share another person’s feelings. As a funeral director, families are paying us to be their stable minds during the midst of their unstable minds and hearts. We go through this program and schooling process to learn how to speak to families and help them cope with their situation. It’s hard to place yourself into another person’s feelings because we all feel and cope with things differently.

Poetry is an effective means used to convey a variety of emotions, from grief, to love, to empathy. This form of text relies heavily on imagery and comparison to inflict the reader with the associated feelings. As such, is displayed within Stephen Dunn 's, aptly named poem, Empathy. Quite ironically, Dunn implores strong diction to string along his cohesive plot of a man seeing the world in an emphatic light. The text starts off by establishing the military background of the main protagonist, as he awaits a call from his lover in a hotel room.

Although mike does not show empathy for others, he does show empathy but he applies it to himself. Throughout Mike’s life course, he had someone caring for him; therefore, he never cared for someone that depends on him creating an emotional bond enhancing feelings for the relationship. Behavioral Perspective (2017) “Behaviorism is the theoretical perspective in which learning and behavior are described and explained in terms of stimulus-response relationships.” As a counselor, I acknowledge that his behavior to be self-centered; thus, Mike has to be given the caretaking role to reverse his behavioral ideology. For the behavioral process, Mike will be given an extremely durable puppy.

Person centred counselling According to McLeod (2003) states that “the emphasis is on the client as an expert and the counsellor as a source of reflection and encouragement and this is captured in the designation of the approach as a ‘non-directive’ form of counselling.” Empathy, congruence (genuineness) and acceptance (unconditional positive regard) are known as the three ‘core conditions’. These core conditions are essential for effective counselling. According to Gillon (2007) “from a therapists’ point of view, an empathic attitude is a desire to understand a client’s perceptual world as if it was his or her own”. Meaning that the Therapist must listen and follow what the client is trying to communicate to them and that the therapist tries

The initial interview in mental health therapy provides the first evidence of effectiveness of treatment. Furthermore, it offers the opportunity to put into practice relationship skills. This interview is crucial to create strong relationship bonds with clients and in turn collect relevant information to formulate a diagnosis and treatment plan, (Kottler & Shepard, 2011). These elements in the film apparently were omitted by Dr. Marvin. The client-therapist relationship should have begun before they met for the first time.
