The emotional thought method ( Spanish: Pensamiento emocional) develops a group of activities that can be used in a personal or group-oriented way. This method concerns developing emotional intelligence in a similar way that Daniel Goleman (1995) proposed in his book Emotional Intelligence, a bestseller book written in 1995.
The emotional thought method was created by Carlos Hué, a Spanish psychologist who is a teacher in the University of Zaragoza. It is explained in the book Pensamiento emocional. Un método para el desarrollo de la autoestima y el liderazgo (Hué, 2007). This book has not yet been translated into English. Carlos Hué gathers a lot of exercises in this method in order to develop emotional skills.
Emotional intelligence is based on several competencies intended to help a person gain success in their personal, professional, and social lives. These kinds of competencies are usually acquired in the earliest stages of education and throughout adult life, but they are not taught in a specific way. The reason is that these competencies are said not to be taught, since they are characteristic of each individual's personal maturation.
There are a great number of training actions favoured by companies, public administrations, entities, institutions, and social agents that develop some of these competences. However, there are not complete methods to train emotional competencies.
The emotional thought method illustrates that emotional competencies can be learned throughout life, so they can be taught, learnt and even evaluated.
This method proposes seven emotional competencies, four pertaining to the self, like self-knowledge, self-evaluation, emotional control, and personal motivation; and three more pertaining to the others, such as: knowledge of others, appreciation of others, and control of them.
These seven emotional competencies are developed through Several Exercises proposed in the Emotional thought method, as much as in the book of Hué quoted before, as in the TREIN project mentioned below. This method is a systematic project to develop all emotional competencies needed by people, in the workplace, in the family, between friends, in people's daily lives.
The European project TREIN (Training in Emotional Intelligence) applies the emotional thought method. It has been translated into English, French, Italian, Swedish, German, Bulgarian, Romanian and Spanish. The emotional thought method, as well as being appropriate to develop mental health, is suitable in work training for teaching emotional competences to employers and employees. It is also an effective method to decrease work accidents and to increase labour productivity.[ citation needed]
