      abstract = {This book explores the construct of empathy and its  connection with education. Charting literature on the  origins and evolution of the concept of empathy, the author  examines the multifaceted nature of empathy and the  external and internal influences behind this concept. The  relationship between empathy and education is examined  through the impact they have on each other for the  development of social and emotional understanding, positive  social behaviours and effective teaching and learning. In  doing so, the author emphasises that empathy apparent in  the early years of life is invaluable for enhancing the  quality of teaching and learning in future, and should be  elicited from pupils and teachers alike. This book will be  of interest to practitioners, educational psychologists,  and researchers in empathy and its effect on education.},
