'While emphasising caring for others, this book also place great
importance on the practitioner caring for and developing
themselves. Contemporary care environments place high demands upon
students and practitioners of all disciplines. We want
practitioners to do more than simply survive these environments, we
want practitioners to thrive and feel enabled to lead themselves
and others.' John Hurley and Paul Linsley, in the Preface Emotional
intelligence is centred in self-awareness, empathy and leadership,
as well as communication, relatedness and personal resilience. This
book adopts a fresh approach to personal and professional
development in healthcare by applying emotional intelligence to a
range of clinical and educational contexts..This practical,
user-friendly guide engages the reader on both an emotional and a
cognitive level, offering an energising way for healthcare
professionals to work more effectively as individuals and as part
of a team. The activities provided are thought-provoking for
personal study and ideal for session planning in larger groups.
Emotional Intelligence in Health and Social Care is recommended for
all educators and students of medicine, nursing, social care and
the Allied Health Professions. When I began my professional
training over forty years ago the curriculum paid no attention to
the 'stuff' of the 'emotions'. However, when faced with the
confusion of real people, and the uncertainty of decision making, I
- like everyone else - had to draw on my emotions; feeling my way
towards a different kind of knowledge. A book like this might have
helped me come to a different understanding of what I needed to do
to help myself to coexist with, work alongside and help others.
