  2. - The Origin of Empathytheoretical part- Iconicity and Abstractionwhat kind of information, in what form- Immersion how much information- Pictures vs. Text

  3. The Origin of Empathy Robert Vischer (1873): ‘Einfühlung’ (in relation to art) Theodor Lipps (1903): ‘Einfühlung’ (interpersonal understanding) Titchener (1908): translation to ‘empathy’ Marc Jeannerod (March 2005): “The concept of empathy implies that individuals involved in a given interaction share a similar mental state. Empathy requires that one has information on the experience and intentions of the person who is observed and whose mental content one is attempting to understand.”

  4. The Origin of Empathy Carol Toris (1994): “Empathy remains a concept whose definition lacks consensus.” Empathy as a decoding process: focus on the recipient of a communicated message (thing) cognitive (perception, understanding) > empathy affective (emotional reactions) > sympathy Wispe (1986): “Briefly, sympathy refers to the heightened awareness of another's plight as something to be alleviated. Empathy refers to the attempt of one self-aware self to understand the subjective experiences of another self. Sympathy is a way of relating. Empathy is a way of knowing” (p. 314).

  5. The Origin of Empathy Empathy as a encoding process: focus on the creation of the message by a sender (thing) Truax and Carkhuff (1967): "Accurate empathy involves both the therapist's sensitivity to current feelings and his verbal facility to communicate this understanding in a language attuned to the client's current feelings" (p. 46). Empathy as an interactive process: communicative framework (thing) Hogan (1975): “The empathetic actor (the encoder), and the empathetic audience person, (the decoder)." (p. 15).

  6. The Origin of Empathy A negotiation model of empathy: a process of successful negotiation of communicative goals and needs (process). Carol Toris (1994): “Empathy exists neither in the head of the sender nor the receiver, but in the emerging interaction that takes place between them.”
