They contrast empathy with related concepts such as altruism, therapeutic alliance, and morality, sharing insights from both research and clinical practice. Additionally, they discuss empathy as a practical tool, providing essential takeaways and advice for clinical social workers to deepen their understanding and application of empathy in their practice.
