This text presents a methodical, organized approach to counseling students in emotional intelligence (EI) by detailing how to understand and direct emotions, while also keying counselors directly to the underlying emotional motivations behind the behaviours. Divided into four units, the book starts with an overview of emotions and continues to explore the nature of anger, fear, grief, and guilt.
