Grief and its Challenges

A fascinating, well-written and wide-ranging exploration of the concept of empathy - Professor Ernesto Spinelli, author of Practising Existential Psychotherapy Empathy is profoundly important for understanding peoples feelings and behaviour.

It offers an invaluable introduction for readers everywhere, including those studying or working in psychology, counselling, psychotherapy, social work, health, nursing and education.
