description: "Philosophers, researchers, and clinicians all agree that empathy is a crucial skill to effective human interactions."--In Their Shoes In Their Shoes focuses on the issue of empathy as it affects the treatment of sexual offenders. It refines the definition of empathy, and reviews the history and theoretical applications thereof. The authors approach a variety of empathy-related issues, addressing its importance in both the therapist and client, and affirming that it is a skill that can be both refined and taught. Examining empathy and self-esteem deficits, the importance of recognizing and expressing emotion, the measurement and development of empathy, and empathy as it relates to social and aggressive behavior creates a framework for observing offender behavior and training both offenders and therapists toward more empathetic behavior. Contributing authors are: Dana Anderson, Ph.D.; Maxine Daniels; Philip Dodgson, Ph.D.; Ruth E. Mann, M.Sc., C.Psychol,; Heather M. Moulden, BA (H); Liam Marshall, BA (H); W.L. Marshall; and Geris Serran, BA (H).
