That sounds like a cool book. I just bought two books on emotion-focused therapy, by Greenburg and Elliott. (Dont'have titles handy, but got them through APA). I am so addicted to buying books! Let me know what you think, please.
I too, think that emotion can come before cognition. Think of all the pre-verbal stuff that infants experience. They have emotions, but cannot make any rational sense of them or even express them verbally (looking at crying and laughing as nonverbal).
And have you ever *felt* and even *known* something but had no words for it. Sometimes I react to art that way. Makes sense to me.
Besides, anytime I say, "my gut tells me" I know the value of emotions! :)
Thanks for telling me about that book. I should start making a list...
