About the Author Theresa M. Kelly, MsD, is a professor of scientific parapsychology, and has conducted psychical research for many years focusing on the phenomenology of psychic experiences, and the personality traits of psychic experients.
EXCERPT: "Beginning with terminology, empathy literally means, “physical affection, passion, partiality.” In parapsychology, empathy is viewed as a component of telepathy, which literally means, “feeling at a distance,” but limited to the influence of emotions. However, defining what emotions actually are has been a neglected area of research until recent years. Today, these research efforts, typically in the social and behavior sciences, are providing insight and dimension into what psychical empathists may influence [emotion], and where their limitations may lie [affective phenomena]. I suggest two types of psychical empathy, in correlation to types of telepathy called for in the mid 50’s. These types include empathic simulation and empathic interaction, which appear to be components of telepathy. These two types are typically activated during localized interpersonal encounters involving two individuals or a small group of individuals [e.g. family or friends]. However, an additional type of empathy appears to exist that I termed empathic cognition, which appears to be a component of clairvoyance, which literally means “clear vision.” This type typically activates during localized interpersonal encounters with, or remote emotional associations during a spike in collective emotion involving, large groups and populations [e.g. communities, or nations]. While this latter type appears to be a component of clairvoyance, it appears to lack associated retrocognitive/postcognitive and precognitive temporal features, but does appear to involve [ ...] Lastly, the fourth type is empathic fatigue, which refers to occurrences when individuals in care giving positions experience the taxing nature of showing compassion for or empathizing with dependent individuals who are suffering from continuous or unresolvable illness, ailments, etc. This type of fatigue also applies to psychical empathists, where the empathist becomes increasingly exhausted by the emotions of others. In either case, prolonged empathic fatigue can lead to the abuse or neglect of others as ones natural human desire to assist others in need begins to diminish. Such fatigue is most prominent in those in the health care profession such as nurses and doctors, which are common fields for empathists. "
