Empathy is key to good relationships. In its absence, behaviour becomes puzzling, even dangerous. David Howe's fascinating book examines what empathy is, why we have it and how it develops. He explores the important part empathy plays in child development and therapeutic work as well as its significance for how society organises itself.
