This video answers the questions: Could I talk about the cognitive and affective empathy with all 10 of the personality disorders? Cognitive empathy, which is also referred to as theory of mind, is a person’s ability to understand the mental states of other people by looking at those people’s behaviors including facial expressions.
Affective empathy is somebody’s emotional reaction to another person’s affective state.
