Emotions play a key role in the development and maintenance of human relationships. Compassion, relating to other emotions such as love and tolerance, has an undeniable effect on human relations. Compassion having many definitions in the literature, has three different domains. These are compassion for self, for others and from others. Compassion must be defined according to three concepts. Because compassion’s definitions are related to one of these three domains. But when compassion is defined in a single aspect, it is incomplete and insufficient. Therefore, in order for a person to be characterized as compassionate, he should be compassionate to himself, to others, and to accept compassion towards from others. But when compassion is mentioned, people remember only, compassion for others, but not for self and from others. When we look at the studies on compassion, only this domain of compassion is generally considered. In addition, lately, self-compassion, which expresses compassion towards one's self, has also been included in the studies. However, compassion has another domain. This is compassion from others. Evaluating compassion, it is necessary to consider these three domains. Therefore, in this study, the concept of compassion and compassion domains are described in line with the available sources.
