Undoubtedly, emotional relationships, as a description of the
emotional bond between any two individuals or between an individual
and an animal or an object, are one of the most challenging
ontogenetic and developmental tasks. Hence, the main purpose of the
present edition is to discuss crucial issues related to emotional
relationships. The initial chapter provides the reader with a brief
introduction into key aspects of emotions that delineate their high
degree of importance to humans and their wide range of functions as
a highly complex phenomenon. As emotions can be over powering and
become debilitating and intrusive in daily life, thus, the ability
to effectively regulate emotions is paramount as it serves as a
protective factor against emotional distress. Considering the fact
that emotions have a crucial impact on all levels of our work life,
Chapter Seven focuses on managing emotions in the workplace,
followed by a review on emotional intelligence (Chapter Eight) that
recognises the individual differences in processing and managing
emotions in everyday life. Chapter Nine reviews the growing
interest in utilising human-animal relationships for enhancing
physical and emotional well-being. Wolf and Brown explore the
nature of the life-enhancing relationship between humans and
animals and describes the Animal Assisted Play Therapy Program as
one illustration of how the human-animal bond may facilitate
well-being and can be the foundation for building other
relationships.
