The Development of Empathy | Free Book
This thought-provoking volume offers psychological perspectives on the formation of empathy and how this determines both antisocial and prosocial behaviors in individuals. It offers a theoretically grounded and empirically proven integrated approach, helping readers gain a holistic understanding of human nature and the need for empathic interaction between people.
Larysa Zhuravlova and Oleksiy Chebykin study the evolution of empathy, peculiarities from birth to old age, and its role in the moral and spiritual development of a person. Key sections explore theoretical and methodological principles of empathy research, the genesis and development of human empathy, the phylogenetic preconditions for empathy, the psychological features of the ontogenesis of empathy, the key factors in personality development, and the experimental study of empathy.
Considering a vision of a society based on empathic relationships, which could deter discrimination, help resolve environmental issues, harmonize interpersonal relationships, and resolve conflict, this new text is for advanced students of developmental and educational psychology. It will have broad appeal across academic and applied discipines in social and developmental psychology, education, the helping professions, and human development.
In The Press
'This is an in-depth, comprehensive and highly applicable book on the
elusive phenomenon of empathy, in which the authors present their
original, holistic general psychological concept of the development of
human empathy and its attributes. The critical points of development
of the empathic personality throughout human life are thoroughly
investigated and analysed. There is no doubt in my mind that this book
will be of significant interest to both researchers and students, as
well as to practicing psychologists, teachers, and parents - in other
words, to all those who work in this field.’

'The Development of Empathy focuses primarily on the positive aspects
of empathy. The authors perceive empathy as an individual's valuable
personal resource, rooted in early social experiences accumulated in
relationships with loved ones, and that changes in its strength and
scope are interrelated with experiences gained in subsequent periods
of life. The book is a rich source of knowledge about empathy that
will be useful for scientists, students, practitioners and parents
interested in educating children as people capable of empathy towards
others.’
Hanna Liberska, Head of the Department of Social
Psychology, Kazimierz Wielki University, Bydgoszcz, Poland
