Transference and Empathy: Where Transference Was, Empathy Shall Be! 43:13

2+ y ago43:13

43:13

It a useful and powerful oversimplification that in transference people relate inauthentically whereas in empathy people relate authentically. (Here “authentically” means “without distortion (in so far as that is humanly possible),” “in integrity,” not in a moralizing sense, but in the sense of “with workability in the matter of not fooling oneself…

Empathy: Capitalist Tool (Part 3): Empathy by the Numbers 53:00

3y ago53:00

53:00

I have been known to say: "We don't need more data; we need expanded empathy!" But, in truth, we need both. The numbers support the conclusion that there is an empathy deficit in the corporate world; but there is also hope that the factors and forces are trending that make possible overcoming this deficit and expanding empathy. Business leaders los…

3y ago32:14

32:14

“CEO” no longer means “Chief Executive Officer,” but “Chief Empathy Officer.” One can hear the groans—this time, from the executive suite, not the cubicles. Empathy is one of those things that are hard to delegate. This role shows up like another job responsibility with which the CEO of the organization is tasked—along with everything else that she…

3y ago44:11

When I ask business leaders what is their budget for empathy training, the response is often a blank stare. Zero.

Empathy and LIterature: Grand Rounds Presentation at Rush Medical University October 13, 2016 51:10

3y ago51:10

51:10

Most people think that empathy is compassion. And while the world needs more compassion, empathy is distinct from compassion. Empathy tells me what the other individual is experiencing; compassion tells me what to do about it. Engages with examples from world literature, including Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks and Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menager…

Empathy versus bullying: Part 2: Online bullying and what to do about it 40:08

3y ago40:08

40:08

The paradox is the anti-social nature of social networking. The computer screen isolates the person even as the person is trying to connect. The contrary is also the case. The screen connects the person when the person wants to be alone, rudely announcing an incoming message by beeping, demanding one’s attention. Sometimes the screen brings out the…

3+ y ago32:59

32:59

Empathy is supposed to be like motherhood, apple pie, and puppies. What’s not to like? A lot. People can be difficult—very difficult—why should empathizing with them be easy? Yet most of the things that are cited as reasons for criticizing and dismissing empathy—emotional contagion, projection, misinterpretation, gossip, messages lost in translatio…

Resistance to Empathy and How to Overcome it (Part 1: Organizational Resistance to Empathy) 49:10

3+ y ago49:10

49:10

The qualities that make organizations successful are not always the qualities that enhance their empathy. Beating the competition in the market, overcoming technical and legal problems, and "getting your numbers," do not reliably expand your empathy. It often seems that compliance and rule-making, not empathy, are trending. The organization drives …

Expand your empathy here-and-now. Empathy training consists in overcoming the obstacles to empathy that people have unwittingly acquired in being taught to conform and survive the day.

The Natural Empath Meets the Good Samaritan 23:55

23:55

To regulate your empathy, cross the street. This is an edgy and confrontational way of putting it, but it is literally accurate. Cross the street away from the neighbor to “down regulate” your empathy, and experience less empathic distress; and cross the street towards your neighbor to expand your empathy in the direction of creating an inclusive c…

Empaths don’t get enough empathy 18:22

3+ y ago18:22

18:22

This gift of empathy shows up as a mixed blessing, since the natural empath experiences the pains and sufferings of the world more intensely and deeply than do other individuals. Less charitable people redescribe the “natural empath” as someone who is “irritable” or “overly sensitive.” Granted, the natural empath brings a deep sensitivity to the ex…

Empathy is a dial, not an on-off switch 13:13

3+ y ago13:13

13:13

People think of empathy as an "on off" switch. Turn empathy "on" for friends, family, the home team - turn empathy "off" for the bad guys, the competition, or unwelcome visitors. Empathy then tends to get stuck in the "off" position. Rather approach empathy as a dial or tuner - turn it up or turn it down - tune it up or tune it down - in one's rela…

What is the difference between empathy and compassion? One of the criticisms of empathy is that is leaves you vulnerable to compassion fatigue.

The Case of Dr Know-it-all: Empathy Gives Us Our Humanity 37:57

You do not need a philosopher to tell you what empathy is. What then do you need? How about a folktale, a narrative, a fairy tale? Rather than start with a definition of empathy, my proposal is to start by telling a couple of stories, in which empathy (and its breakdown) plays a crucial role. Both stories are anonymous folktales from the collection…
