Walter Osika and Edwin Rutsch: Dialogs on How to Build a Culture of Empathy

Walter Osika MD, PhD, works as a stress researcher and his research profile is "neuropsychiatric and cardiovascular measures in childhood and adulthood". He has primarily studied self assessed psychological health and cardiovascular regulation in children. He is also participating in epidemiological studies of early exposures and later outcomes in terms of psychiatric and cardiovascular disease, as well as in studies of burn out patients and of autonomic regulation in relation to hearing and cognition." 
Walter is researching how compassion relates to stress and is part of a group that is setting up a Swedish version of the The Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education located in Stanford University.
