Empathy is a widely used term but it is also difficult to define In recent years the field of cognitive neuroscience has made impressive strides in identifying neural networks in the brain related to or triggered by empathy Still what exactly do we mean when we say that someone has-or lacks-empathy? How is empathy distinguished from sympathy or pity? & is society truly suffering from an "empathy deficit" as some experts have charged?? In Assessing Empathy Elizabeth A Segal & colleagues marshal years of research to present a comprehensive definition of empathy one that links neuroscientific evidence to human service practice The book begins with a discussion of our current understanding of empathy in neurological biological & behavioral terms The authors explain why empathy is important on both the individual & societal levels They then introduce the concepts of interpersonal empathy & social empathy & how these processes can interrelate or operate separately Finally they examine the weaknesses of extant empathy assessments before introducing three new validated measures the Empathy Assessment Index the Social Empathy Index & the Interpersonal & Social Empathy Index ...

Assessment & Treatment of Muscle Imbalance The Janda Approach blends postural techniques neurology & functional capabilities in order to alleviate chronic musculoskeletal pain & promote greater functionality Developed by Vladimir Janda respected neurologist & physiotherapist the Janda approach presents a unique perspective to rehabilitation In contrast to a more traditional structural view the Janda approach is functional emphasising the importance of the sensorimotor system in controlling movement & chronic musculoskeletal pain syndromes from sports & general activities This is the only text to offer practical evidence-based application of Janda's theories Filled with illustrations photos & step-by-step instructions the book uses a systematic approach in presenting information that can be used in tandem with other clinical techniques This resource for practitioners features a rationale for rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal system based on the relationship between the central nervous system & the motor system Through this book it provides an evidence-based explanation of muscle imbalance The step-by-step Janda system of evaluation is explained including analysis of posture balance & gait; evaluation of movement patterns; testing of muscle length; & assessment of the soft tissue The text explores treatment options for muscle imbalance through facilitation & inhibition techniques & sensorimotor training to restore neuromucular function It also

Includes:: four case studies examining musculoskeletal conditions & showing how the Janda approach compares with other treatments This text combines theory evidence & applications to assist clinicians in implementing the Janda approach into their practice

Winner of the prestigious Paul A Samuelson Award for scholarly writing on lifelong financial security John Cochrane's Asset Pricing now appears in a revised edition that unifies & brings the science of asset pricing up to date for advanced students & professionals Cochrane traces the pricing of all assets back to a single idea--price equals expected discounted payoff--that captures the macro-economic risks underlying each security's value By using a single stochastic discount factor rather than a separate set of tricks for each asset class Cochrane builds a unified account of modern asset pricing He presents applications to stocks bonds & options Each model--consumption based CAPM multifactor term structure & option pricing--is derived as a different

Specification of the discounted factor The discount factor framework also leads to a state-space geometry for mean-variance frontiers & asset pricing models It puts payoffs in different states of nature on the axes rather than mean & variance of return leading to a new & conveniently linear geometrical representation of asset pricing ideas Cochrane approaches empirical work with the Generalized Method of Moments which studies sample average prices & discounted payoffs to determine whether price does equal expected discounted payoff He translates between the discount factor GMM & state-space language & the beta mean-variance & regression language common in empirical work & earlier theory The book also

Includes:: a review of recent empirical work on return predictability value & other puzzles in the cross section & equity premium puzzles & their resolution Written to be a summary for academics & professionals as well as a textbook this book condenses & advances recent scholarship in financial economics
