Mirror neurons: When it comes to mental illness, neuroscience is about as valid as astrology or alchemy. It deals with correlations, is not validated normatively, and is grandiosely ill-founded.
Empathy is a self-contained internal set of processes, triggered by the presence and self-reporting of another person.
It involves two misperceptions:
1. That the internal experience of empathy is actually external (has to do with the other person); and
2. That the experience of empathy is altruistic and focused on the other person when in reality it revolves mostly around emotional self-regulation (avoidance of shame, guilt) and cognitive processing. Empathy has all the hallmarks of – mostly healthy - narcissism.
