Abstract
The necessity to better understand the complex world of emotion is evident is the process of screening, assessment, case
formulation, and treatment of patients with co-occurring disorders. Th is presentation will bring theory into the arena
of evidenced-based treatment to one of the most diffi cult populations. It explores the nature of emotion, the predominant
underlying theories, and the interaction between the autonomic nervous system, the physiology of emotion, and application
in diagnosis, assessment, treatment, and remediation. Th is presentation covers the foundation for, and process of controlling
emotions, some potentially damaging myths about emotions, and the key habits of emotionally resilient people. Th is study
takes emotion out of the theoretical labroatory and into the practical application of fostering emotional maturity and resilience
in the care and treatment of patients with co-occurring disorders.
