Abstract
ABSTRACT Health care practitioners and researchers alike are beginning to acknowledge the importance of emotion in health. Nevertheless, health care social workers continue to assume most of the responsibility for actually dealing with the emotions of patients and families. Literature exploring social work interventions with emotion are restricted to a single patient population and practice setting. This study conducted a content analysis of pertinent literature, systematically codifying strategies across patient populations and practice settings according to a pragmatic conceptual foundation of the professional emotion treatment process. Analysis yielded a comprehensive conceptually clustered matrix of 45 strategies, establishing an objective and systematic basis for identifying and understanding this professional emotion treatment process for social work educators, practitioners, and researchers alike.
