Empathetic Practice: The Struggle and Virtue of Empathizing with a Patient's Suffering
Hastings Center Report 49 (2):17-25 (2019)
Abstract
Empathy is sometimes so hard to achieve that one may wonder if it is a virtue for caregivers at all. Perhaps a caregiver cannot always know how a patient feels, and perhaps that knowledge is sometimes too painful to possess. A nuanced understanding of what empathy entails and of the conditions for attaining it can help ground its possibility.Author Profiles
