Abstract
In this column, we attempt to define what compassion is, consider related concepts such as empathy and unconditional positive regard, and ask whether the notion of compassion fatigue is a contradiction in terms. In doing so we note that compassion is embedded within relationships and should underpin high quality mental health care.
