Sumario:Objective of the present investigation was to analyze the relationship between the variables of empathy and irrational beliefs. Materials and methods: it is of non-experimental design, of cross- section and correlational scope. The sample consisted of 127 inmates in a penitentiary institute in Lima East, over 18 years of age, held for crimes against sexual freedom. The instruments used for data collection were the Interpersonal Reactivity Scale (Davis, 1980) and the Registry of Opinions (Davis, McKay and Eshelman, 1987). Results showed that there is a significant inverse relationship between empathy and the irrational beliefs of absolute competence and continuity of effects (p <0.05). However, no significant relationship was found between empathy and the irrational beliefs of affection and approval, relativity of acts, social expectations and external control (p> 0.05). Conclussion: that empathy is inversely linked to self-sufficiency generated by the belief of being absolutely competent and the inadequate coping of past experiences.
