Empathy Across Cultures and Contexts
Monday, May 11, 2009
Presented By
Speaker
Juris G. Draguns (Penn State University)
Can empathy be communicated across cultural barriers, and what obstacles must be overcome in the process? These questions will be addressed in reference to assessment, counseling, and psychotherapy, and the potential role of empathy in fostering intercultural contacts and in investigating, and adjusting to, new and different cultures will be explored.
