Research identifies empathy as a moderating variable in the display of aggression. Research further suggests that empathy is a significant variable in the effective parenting of children. Studies in child abuse show that abusive parents score significantly lower on empathy measures as compared to their nonabusive counterparts. The purpose of this theoretical article is (1) to suggest based on the literature that empathy training should be a core component in treatment strategies with abusive parents. A variety of approaches to empathy training will be suggested; (2) to encourage the implementation of empathy training in interventions with abusive parents and the measurement through research of the effectiveness of this approach to treatment on a short and long-term basis.
研究表明，同理心是攻击行为表现中的一个调节变量。进一步的研究表明，同理心是有效养育子女的一个重要变量。虐待儿童的研究表明，与非虐待型父母相比，虐待型父母在同理心测量方面的得分显著更低。这篇理论文章的目的是：（1）基于文献提出，同理心训练应该成为针对虐待型父母的治疗策略的核心组成部分。将提出多种同理心训练方法；（2）鼓励在针对虐待型父母的干预措施中实施同理心训练，并通过研究来衡量这种治疗方法在短期和长期的有效性。
