Programa de Promoção da Inteligência Emocional na Ansiedade Infantil

Abstract

Emotional intelligence (EI) is one of the most important components for the psychological adjustment of children. There is evidence that children with anxiety disorders present deficits in EI, so we want to develop a intervention program of healing nature for the promotion of EI with children with pathological anxiety. It is expected that this program will contribute to the design of more appropriate interventions and targeted to the needs of these children, reducing the costs associated with the interventions in health and education and that may assist professionals to intervene in the child and youth mental health field.
