Pathological Altruism
"The benefits of altruism and empathy are obvious. These qualities are so highly regarded and embedded in both secular and religious societies that it seems almost heretical to suggest they can cause harm. Like most good things, however, altruism can be distorted or taken to an unhealthy extreme. Pathological Altruism presents a number of new, thought-provoking theses that explore a range of hurtful effects of altruism and empathy. "

Other Empathy Experts to Interview

Russell Delman www.russelldelman.com and Robert Gonzales http://www.prescottnvc.org/
Best wishes,
Carol
Carol Delmonico, Professional Life Coach
"The shortest distance between judgment and joy is laughter" I help people who are overwhelmed find more joy...

--------------------------------------------
One person you should add is Barb Oakley. She is the author of Evil Genes: Why Rome Fell, Hitler Rose, Enron Failed and My Sister Stole My Mother’s Boyfriend
http://tinyurl.com/bdpc78
She has done a very thorough reading of the research on empathy. Also, interestingly, she is working on her next book, which is about the mirror image, those who are pathologically hyper-empathetic and as a result get hurt. I think you'd find her a very valuable resource.
Her contact:

Dear Edwin,
My name is Aya Caspi and I live in California. I came here from Israel two years ago.
In Israel I have been working for 14 years with Naftali Shimrat, a business philosopher. We have been coaching the high end of the business leaders in Israel.
Naftali is 82 years old today and he is a master of empathy. I've been trained by him and witnessed many many empathy miracles which had happened in his little study room in Tel-Aviv where he still hosts his clients, most of them business leaders, but also leaders in education, health, arts and other life supporting activities.
He is also the most empathic man I know.
Feel free to contact me if you want Naftali's contact details.
Good Luck, Aya Caspi aya@rvw.com Tel. 530-6929275
