Reviews
“A highly informative and enjoyable read! Like an skilled litigator Dr. Chambliss builds a solid case for appreciating the multifaceted influence of Schadenfreude and Freudenfreude in the development of depression. The reader is left with the obvious conclusion that Empathy Does Rule. This book is a must addition to any clinician’s toolbox.” – John J. Heilenman, Licensed Psychologist and Director of the Group Center at the Center for Mental Health, Reading, PA
“The author writes with clarity and that makes it an easy read even for laypeople seeking a better understanding of schadenfreude and its toxic effect on relationships. Professionals, meanwhile, will find ample documentation. Firmly grounded in empirical research, Dr. Chambliss deftly weaves together the biological psychological interpersonal and cultural variables shaping both empathy and depression.” – Robin Knoblach, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in Herndon, VA.
This book might interest both professional clinicians and empathy researchers, as well as laypersons interested in improving their relationships and avoiding depression.
