In Emotional Intelligence and Behavioral Therapies, psychotherapist J.R. Hernandez presents a structured 10-step guide that integrates emotional intelligence research into cognitive-behavioral therapy practice. Drawing from a postgraduate degree in Emotional Intelligence (Instituto de Estudios Psicológicos de España) and clinical training in neuroscience (Duke University School of Medicine) and anxiety and mood disorders (American Psychological Association), Hernandez proposes a systematic framework he calls Cognitive Emotional Behavioral Therapy (CEBT).
Each step builds on the previous one: from foundational emotional literacy (identifying and naming basic and complex emotions, distinguishing appropriate from inappropriate negative emotions) through applied self-regulation strategies drawn from CBT and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), to a final phase of consolidation and relapse prevention. The book covers emotional awareness and identification, self-compassion and self-care practices, social skills development, REBT fundamentals, CBT techniques, and the proposed CEBT integration.
Grounded in research from Salovey, Mayer, Fernández-Berrocal, and Beck, and designed for independent application by adults managing stress, anxiety, or depression. Also a clinical resource for mental health professionals seeking to integrate emotional intelligence frameworks into evidence-based practice.
Available in English and Spanish. 368 pages.
