This volume explores Trait Emotional Intelligence, a key construct for those working in helping professions. With a rigorous yet accessible approach, the author introduces the main theoretical models, explains how Trait Emotional Intelligence is measured, and presents the key findings of empirical research, with particular attention to applications in educational, psychological and social care contexts. Through examples, case studies and critical reflections, the book shows how emotional awareness, emotion regulation and empathy can be developed as genuine transversal skills, essential for promoting overall wellbeing and, above all, effective relationships.
