Reviews"Saarni has prepared a richly detailed description and justification of emotional competence. The book provides a valuable set of readings for graduate-level seminars on emotional development and/or child clinical issues. One of Saarni's strengths is her astute clinical insight into how children negotiate their daily emotional experiences. Her use of stories and hypothetical vignettes effectively portrays emotional competence in action. Another possible use for the book is in clinical settings. By using the skills-based approach, a clinician might be able to assess a client's emotional competence, determine strengths and challenges, and formulate a plan for therapy." --Journal of Social and Personal Relationships "This is a richly informative, eloquent, and vital book. It is important for psychologists and others concerned with emotional competence as integral to the development of individuals in changing societies....this is an exceptional book in all it offers. Informed by a wealth of research and ideas across impressively diverse but integrated topics, it is written in an inviting, authoritative, clearly opinioned and generally convincing voice that engages us with provocative material. Carolyn Saarni does not shy away from difficult material or from presenting her own views-which, academically and clinically add meaningfully to the psychological literature on emotion....experts and novices alike will applaud this book meaningfully integrating and making accessible very important concepts and evidence, as well as for stimulating new ideas. It works well for teaching and for thinking in interesting ways about relevant ideas and findings....I highly recommend its information, insights, and applications." --Contemporary Psychology, "Drawing on the latest research and an abundance of case material, Carolyn Saarni vividly explores the range of skills that lead to emotional competence--awareness of self and others, sensitivity to masked as well as expressed emotion, the ability to put feelings into words, and strategies for coping with adversity. She eloquently situates that competence in its wider social, cultural, and moral context. Anyone who wants to nurture or understand the development of emotional competence should read this book." --Paul L. Harris, PhD, Department of Experimental Psychology, Oxford University, Oxford "The Development of Emotional Competence advances our understanding of the rich tapestry of human emotion, and of the skills that emerge as we learn to live with its influence in daily life. It is a valuable resource to students as well as professionals in psychology, counseling, social work, and education. As a developmentalist, clinician, parent, and astute observer of human emotion, Carolyn Saarni has presented a complex and essential feature of human experience in a comprehensible and compelling manner." --From the Foreword by Ross A. Thompson, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Nebraska "The best treatment of emotional competence in the literature. Well written, thoroughly researched, and engagingly illustrated, this book is 'must' reading for anyone interested in the contemporary issues surrounding the concept of emotional intelligence." --Joseph J. Campos, PhD, University of California at Berkeley, "Drawing on the latest research and an abundance of case material, Carolyn Saarni vividly explores the range of skills that lead to emotional competence--awareness of self and others, sensitivity to masked as well as expressed emotion, the ability to put feelings into words, and strategies for coping with adversity.
