The self- psychology model is related to empathy not only as the common meaning of "caring about the other" but as something that takes much more effort:

Understanding the other (your child, your friend, your patient) by reaching his deep and true feeling- by a long and intensive dialog. It means that you really try to understand the other without assuming he feels like you would feel in his place- because you are not the same!
