We’re going to begin by establising some context and setting some Davis, M. (1990). What is empathy and can empathy be taught? Physical Therapy, 70:707-711.

Questions to guide your thinking on the topic. Note that you don’t have to try and answer these questions, they are simply meant to stimulate your thinking:

2. What are your own thoughts on empathy? Does it have a role in professional practice? What is that role?
3. How do you feel about function gtElInit() { var lib = new google.translate.TranslateService(); lib.setCheckVisibility(false); lib.translatePage('en', 'pt', function (progress, done, error) { if (progress == 100 || done || error) { document.getElementById("gt-dt-spinner").style.display = "none"; } }); }
