ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Empathy, the ability to put oneself in another person's shoes, is a fundamental and complex phenomenon that is being studied in many fields, including psychology and neuroscience, education, health and the promotion of well-being. With its origins in the evolution of species and adaptation to their environment, empathy has become an object of study for a better understanding of emotion regulation.
Conceptualizing these cerebral and psychological processes of emotional resonance and social cognition enables better formulation of diagnoses and therapies in many contexts. These range from autism, anxiety and depression to Alzheimer's disease, antisocial behavior and certain somatic disorders. Beyond the context of pathologies, empathy represents an important lever in the field of development, education and health. In other words, empathy is a process that concerns us all!
