Therapist Emotional Intelligence

Introduction

The term "Emotional Intelligence" refers to the ability to recognize our own feelings and those of others. Emotional intelligence is specified in a wide range of skills and personality traits including empathy, expression and understanding of feelings, independence, and adaptability, ability to solve problems, social skills and persistence (Cote, S. and Miners, C.T.H, 2006). According to various studies conducted by Researchers, both academic intelligence and emotional intelligence seem to be important in determining effective by the therapist, as it tends to remain the subject in the context of the paper. The magnitude of relationship between each intelligence and approach of the therapist is significant but relatively small. This suggests that effective leaders possess multiple forms of intelligence—and forms of intelligence beyond verbal and emotional intelligence.

Emotional intelligence is very low among the factors cited academic and professional success. The works of renowned researchers show that it has as much effect as cognitive intelligence. It is not innate: it develops, is learned and reinforced with life experiences. In short, in the responses, we can certainly have differing views as defensible as any prism is our sociological, political, organizational, religious or otherwise.

This form of intelligence has dominated or ruled our representation for over a century and has been a beacon for science and social science teaching and organizational, including the famous IQ or IQ that measured our intelligence. This has two serious consequences. The first is the reduction of the reality of the complexity of the person to an exclusive form of intelligence, ignoring the contribution of other types of intelligence. The second consequence is the creation of a false reality hierarchical, educational level and company level. Many experts tend to believe that the emotional intelligence is the tool which can be used differently for different purposes. It can work greatly for a profession who needs to study the behavior of the individual. Moreover, for the profession who tends to understand the cognitive deciphering of the subject. In the context of the paper we intend to shed light on the emotional intelligence level of the therapist so that he or she is able to enter into the retarget alliance with the concerned authority which can be patient.

Research Problem

In business and psychology personal attributes and the ability to develop an interpersonal connection with people. According to Carmeli (2003) there is a “growing body of research regarding the importance of emotional intelligence for successful approach” (p. 789). By integrating the research on EI conceptually, its contribution to psychology is more readily grasped. Presently a single study exists investigating EI among psychotherapists and the level of impact on client satisfaction and treatment outcomes (Kaplowitz, Safran and Muran, 2011).

The literature relating these constructs empirically is sparse, especially considering the abundant research relating EI to success in business and management. Therefore it might be beneficial for research to specifically consider EI and the positive effect on therapeutic alliance. In the light of the research, it can be stated that the study intends ...
