The Science of Empathy
This is a re-release of one of my favourite lectures. When I was invited to speak at SMACC Gold 2015 I was given a free range to speak about whatever I desired. Daunting, to be given this choice as it is easy to do something easy, something that has hard science… so I chose the difficult path of trying to sell the concept of empathy to a room of super bright and caring critical care doctors and nurses.
Not your standard SMACC talk. This one ranges over the neurobiology of empathy, the social science and the more practical modern application of empathy in clinical medicine. You can learn a lot of history too – its a bit of a whistle-stop tour through some of the dark days of western culture.
So grab a cuppa and sit down for this 30 minute chat.
