A concept analysis of empathy

Abstract: The concept of empathy lies amid much confusion. This analysis addresses that confusion using Walker and Avant's model of concept analysis, and looks at what empathy is: is it trait or state, is it dynamic or static, and how is it recognized and measured? Implications of these findings are discussed, limitations of the study are acknowledged and areas for further work suggested.

Daardoor is een situatie ontstaan die Wiseman (1996Wiseman ( , p. 1162) als volgt omschrijft: 'Empathie is een veelgebruikte en veelbeschreven term (…) en zo zijn de betekenis en toepassing ervan vertroebeld.'
