“Cognitive empathy is defined as the ability to construct a working model of the emotional states of others and importantly entails the comprehension of another person’s emotional experience. . This can be achieved by actively imagining what another person may be feeling or by intuitively putting oneself in another person's position; processes joined under the header perspective taking (2). ”

“Cognitive empathy is the ability to understand how a person feels and what they might be thinking. Cognitive empathy makes us better communicators, because it helps us relay information in a way that best reaches the other person. ”

“This paper has defined clinical empathy as 'a sense of connection between the healthcare worker and the patient as a result of perspective taking arising from imaginative, affective and cognitive processes, which are expressed through behaviours and good communication skills that convey genuine concern'. A clear and multidimensional definition of clinical empathy will improve future education and research efforts in the application and impact of clinical empathy. ”
