Empirical evidence from social neurosciences show that empathy is based on interaction between different mental structure and functions. The purpose of this paper is to apply the hierarchical model of mind proposed by Hughlings Jackson one century ago to empathic processes. This model helps to better understand the founding role of empathy for the development of cooperative relationships and high reflexive mental functions. It also presents implications of jacksonian model for clinical practice and psychotherapy.
