Norwegian Researcher Calls for Greater Emotional Intelligence
January 21st, 2010
Emotional intelligence, or EI, is quickly becoming a more pronounced topic in the field of mental health as more professionals tune in to the benefits this personality trait can have for their clients. But EI may also be essential for professionals themselves, suggests a researcher from the University of Stavanger in Norway. The researcher has advised that as rates of depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns climb among the population, greater attention to client emotions among general practice physicians and other health care workers may both help to identify and seek treatment for relevant issues.

It is imperative that the professionals treating the patients know all that they can of the disorders and the related information. This way they will be in a much better position to understand and treat the issue, and also the confidence level while dealing with a case goes up. This will also attract the patients because they know that a particular professional is well-aware.
Only makes sense. The more in touch you are with your emotions the better you will probably have the ability to deal with the things going on in your life. I see too many people who are completely out of touch with what they are feeling and do their best to hide their emotions instead of working to take charge of them. These are thus the people that I always see struggling against themselves instead of embracing the good with the bad and learning how to cope with it all.
a person needs to be self-aware and this would definitely be an advantage.being aware of our likes and dislikes,of what can actually help us tide over a possible problem,all contribute to the advantage.
The more you know yourself the better you are going to be at letting others in, simple as that.
