Reply to comment by [deleted] in Hi! I’m Dr Lucy Maddox from Bath University (UK). I’m a clinical psychologist researching compassionate care and things that can get in the way. I have a new book out called A Year To Change Your Mind, about how psychology can help with everyday life by UniversityofBath

Also another angle, we in developed countries look at the clients with compassion because they have low funding, always micro-managed, controled food and spending etc. whereas I have heard from staff from underdeveloped countries that people with these problem get 0 help or funding. People from underprivileged countries might look at these clients as “privileged” compared to the people they have seen back home. Is our compassion based on the comparison of our own quality of life?
