Letter from the Editor: Empathy
Published Wednesday 28 February 2018

In John Steinbeck's novel East of Eden, he gets to the crux of empathy when he writes, "You can only understand people if you feel them in yourself." Sympathy is feeling compassion or pity for another person, whereas empathy is seeing a situation through the eyes of another.
Empathy, or looking at a situation through the eyes of another, is one of our guiding principles.
Empathy is a guiding principle for the editorial team at Medical News Today, and I believe it's from this intention that our best content is produced.
