An Interview with Paul Ekman, Ph.D. on Emotional Expression Wise Counsel Podcasts

    • Health & Fitness

Dr. Ekman talks about his research career studying expressions of emotion, his invention of a facial expression coding system capable of revealing people's hidden emotions with good accuracy, and the use of this system by various law enforcement systems to help them tell when people are lying. Drs. Van Nuys and Ekman discuss the applicability of this coding system to psychotherapy and wonder about why so few psychotherapists have become interested in using this system to better gain insight into their client's inner worlds. Dr. Ekman discusses his conversations about the nature of human emotion with the Dalai Lama. The interview concludes with Dr. Ekman's thoughts on some important areas of further emotion research he believes should be explored.
