Emotional 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. In daily life, expression
enables people to communicate with each other and influence
relationships; in psychotherapy, it provides important information
about how clients are feeling and how they are relating to the
therapist. This lucid volume examines expressions of such feelings
as love, anger, and sadness, and highlights the individual and
interpersonal processes that shape emotional behavior. It offers a
lively and comprehensive discussion of the role of emotional
expression and nonexpression in individual adaptation, social
interaction, and therapeutic process. Drawing upon extensive theory
and research, the authors provide coherent guidelines to help
clinicians, researchers, and students identify, conceptualize, and
treat problems in emotional behavior. They show that expression and
nonexpression come in many different forms, with a wide range of
personal and relational consequences. The effects of expressing
one's feelings depend on what is expressed, to whom, in what way,
and in what context. Expression can lead to greater self-knowledge,
enhanced coping, and fuller intimacy, but it can also result in
embarrassment, misunderstanding, or rejection. Conversely,
nonexpression can involve a frustrating lack of opportunity to
express, or problems in accessing or articulating feelings, but it
can also reflect cultural values or effective coping efforts.
Through vivid clinical examples, the authors illuminate a range of
problems related to both expression and nonexpression, and provide
insight into how these can be addressed in individual and couple
therapy. This practical and clearly written guide is an important
resource for teachers, students, and researchers of clinical,
counseling, social, personality, and health psychology, as well as
practicing counselors and psychotherapists. It will also serve as a
text in advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses on
emotion and interpersonal communication, and in graduate-level
counseling and psychotherapy seminars.
