Expressing Emotion: Myths, Realities, and Therapeutic Strategies

"Expression is the link between internal experience and the outside world. It is intimately connected to who we are, how we feel, and how we relate to others," write psychologists Eileen Kennedy-Moore and Jeanne C. Watson. With clinical sensitivity and empirical rigor, the authors describe the many forms of emotional expression and nonexpression and their implications for personal well-being and social relationships. Vivid clinical examples translate theory into practice. This clearly-written book guides mental health professionals and students in understanding and treating problems in emotional behavior.
