Empathy and sympathy fit perfectly with medical practice, but reflection and research demonstrate a lack of consistency in the use and definition of empathy as well as the multitudinous definitions of sympathy. A short excursion into contemporary literary works reveals diverse opinions about the clinical usefulness of empathy and sympathy.
同理心和同情心与医疗实践完美契合,但反思和研究表明,在同理心的使用和定义以及同情心的众多定义方面缺乏一致性。对当代文学作品的简要探究揭示了关于同理心和同情心临床效用的不同观点。
