“This is an extraordinarily well developed, researched, and validated summary on the value and use of the concept of empathy in the health professions. It serves as an excellent review for admissions committees of all health disciplines, career counselors in the undergraduate areas and for those considering residency training, and as a tool for those in health profession leadership roles in counseling graduate clinicians who have experienced difficulties in their interpersonal relations and patient-clinician relations.” (Vincent F. Carr, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2016)
