This was portrayed in her response to his question, “you will be fine” and being dismissive all the time.
De Vito (2001) in McCabe et all (2017, pg 45) stated that, mental interference such as preconceived ideas, wandering thoughts, biases, prejudice, closed mindedness and extreme emotionalism could affect communication. Mr Lawrence was greatly affected by the thoughts of his mum dying of

Being able to communicate with various different people is vital when working in the care industry. Communication between the service users and staff is the most obvious and important. However, communication has to take place between staff and the family of the service users. This is because having a bond with the family as well as the child allows both participants to feel more comfortable in the environment and ensures the family that their child is in a good place. It is also crucial that colleagues are able to communicate at a sufficient standard as well. The reason for this is that when working with people who need care can be very stressful at times, therefore not getting along with a colleague may cause more stress within the care setting.

Professor Paul Bloom states he is against empathy. He believes it is wrongfully used in our society and should not be used in certain situations. He still thinks it is important sometimes, but should not be primarily used as a result of anger, depression or retaliation. He believes compassion is the solution to empathy. In the long run, Bloom states that empathy will fail or burnout in a person. Hannah the extremely empathic person will eventually burnout according to Bloom. The use of empathy everyday as a core moral code will eventually be overwhelming and burned out and used up. The person will change direction and use empathy less in their lifetime. This essay will explore Paul Bloms opinion of empathy in his article, “Against

M1 Assess the roles of effective communication and interpersonal interactions in health and social care with reference to theories of communication
Empathy and caring is an essential part of human health. We love because we can empathize (Szalavitz & Perry, 2010). Empathy underlies everything that makes society work; such as altruism, collaboration, love and charity. Failures to empathize are a key part of social problems, such as crime, violence, war, racism, child abuse and inequity. Although we are genetically predisposed to care for others, the development of empathy requires a lifelong process of relational interaction (Szalavitz & Perry, 2010). More importantly, the first relationship humans experience, the
Problems with verbal communication in the healthcare setting emerge from the fact that nurses and others in the healthcare setting receive little education on how to communicate effectively with each other.
Most definitions of empathy are based on the same core idea - empathy is the ability to understand and identify someone else’s thoughts and feelings, as if they were one’s own (wordreference online dictionary, 2016). Although it’s been said “there are probably nearly as many definitions of empathy as people working on the topic.” (de Vignemont & Singer, 2006, p.435) suggesting that there is no singular way to even define empathy, let alone explain its impact on our behaviour. Due to the sheer depth and complexity of empathy it’s understandable that each discipline within psychology presents it’s own explanation for why we experience it, and how it can affect our interaction with the world around us. Psychologists have been exploring empathy for decades, in hope of gaining a complete grasp of what it means and how it can vary between each person, therefore its important we look at different psychological perspectives to try to understand it’s many dimensions.
