variety of fields are implicated in this chapter. Part V attends to compassionate love in caregiving contexts. The common theme in this section is the idea that those who provide compassionate love through caregiving, appear to feel better about themselves as well. Chapter 11 examines compassionate love in caregiving for end-of-life contexts. Using qualitative research, the authors report results of assessing compassionate love between family caregivers and terminally ill patients. In Chapter 12, the authors use in-depth interviews conducted with clinicians identified as compassionate. They present a model indicating factors that promote exemplary care among healthcare providers. Chapter 13 reports an analysis concluding that altruistic love, attachment avoidance and anxiety, empathy, and perspective-taking are all predictors of differences in caregiving to people with disabilities. Part VI explores compassionate love in an intercultural context. Chapter 14 examines children and adolescents from Indonesia in relation to empathy, sympathy, perspective-taking, prosocial behavior, and ethnic sensitivity. This chapter is particularly valuable in that it uses subjects from an international perspective, supporting the idea of compassionate love as something shared by humankind rather than just North Americans. Chapter 15 is a commentary written as a reflection on the content of the book. It concludes with suggestions for future research in the area of compassionate love. Though all of the chapters relate to Underwood’s model of compassionate love, not all of them specifically use the model to conduct their research. A few examples follow. Chapter 4 examines empathy and altruism, which are both variables of compassionate love, but only a portion of it. Chapter 8 focuses primarily on attachment theory, then relate it back to compassion. Chapter 14 spotlights empathy, sympathy, perspective-taking, and prosocial behavior attempting to extend the model. Underwood stresses the importance of feedback loops and interactions in the model, but these characteristics were not a focus for most of the studies included in the book. More use of the specific model would have created an added cohesiveness among the chapters. The Science of Compassionate Love is unique in many ways. It is one of the first books to examine the concept of compassionate love. It does so with the help of varying disciplines and methods, and a variety of measures. And it does so in a number of different situations and relationships. The book could easily be adopted in a graduate level class in areas such as personal relationships, gender, communication, and psychology.
