Psychology, neuroscience, sociology, philosophy, and even the computational sciences (affective computing) have grown in the area of emotional research. Affective science is a new discipline that has become very prominent in all of these fields. Affective science includes the study of emotion elicitation, emotional experience, and the recognition of emotions in other in a scientific manner.This scientific approach is prompting professionals to re-examine established assumptions that have guided clinical practice. Emotions are the evaluative judgments of the environment, the self and others, in light of our goals and beliefs, which motivate and help coordinate adaptive behavior necessary for survival, including the expression of emotions to others.This idea of affective science is enforcing the ideas of the necessity and benefits of processing traumatic experiences or the usefulness of actively expressing anger and frustration. Research in affective science also contributes to an improved understanding of the mechanisms of psychopathology, and holds the promise of developing more targeted assessments and treatment plans, tailored to individual idiosyncrasies. Neuroscience has determined how complex emotions truly are. Due to its complexity, having a deep understanding of emotions is essential when working with clients. The objective of this continuing education course is to provide an introduction to contemporary emotion theories and findings from recent emotion research, and highlight their relevance for clinical practice. It should be noted that this discussion below is limited to theories and concepts developed in the Western scientific tradition within the past 100 years.Students will: - Become familiar with recent findings from the affective sciences and their relevance to clinical social work practice.
- Gain an understanding of the emerging theoretical frameworks regarding emotion and cognition-emotion interactions, and their relevance for psychotherapy, including: cognitive appraisal in emotion generation, effective biases on cognition, affects regulation, embodied emotion, and emotion contagion.
- Gain an appreciation of the significant individual and cultural differences in effective processing and expression, and the implications of these differences for clinical practice.
