Emotional inteligence

Appendix B. Hallmarks of the Emotional Mind

1. I have written about Seymour Epstein's model of the "experiential
unconscious" on several occasions in The New
York Times, and much of this summary of it is based on
conversations with him, letters to me, his article, "Integration
of the Cognitive and Psychodynamic Unconscious"
(American Psychologist AA (1994), and his book with
Archie Brodsky, You're Smarter Than You Think (New
York: Simon & Schuster, 1993). While his model of the experiential
mind informs my own about the "emotional
mind," I have made my own interpretation.

and Emotion, 6,1992, p. 175. The list of traits that
distinguish emotions is a bit longer, but these are the traits
that will concern us here.
