Boosting the Mind's Eye: Visualizing for Social and Emotional Intelligence Erin Phifer

This book uses theory and research to support a program that aids parents, educators, counselors, and psychologists to help bolster and increase emotional intelligence within children and adults. Boosting the Mind's Eye was originally intended to be used with individuals with learning disorders, but it could also be a useful tool during early child development. The book includes sample dialogues, photos, and a step by step guide to improve upon many skills, such as reading facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, practice dialogue, etc. This is important due to the lack of programs available to address these needs using an imagery based method that will allow for retention of these skills versus rote memory.
