Press Release Contact: Seth Eisenberg Nobel Selection Validates Emotional Literacy Approach Nobel Prize awarded for enhanced understanding of emotional memory. Selection validates 'emotional literacy' approach to marriage education. WESTON, FL, Oct. 10 -- Three scientists, including Dr. Eric Kandel of Columbia University, have been awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine for their work to develop much of the present understanding of the interconnection between brain cells. Dr. Kandel said at a news conference, "We are who we are because of what we learn and what we remember." Seth Eisenberg, President and CEO of PAIRS International, said Dr. Kandel's comments offer important validation of the need for emotional literacy to serve as the foundation for effective relationship skills training. "PAIRS is unique in the field of relationship and marriage education," said Eisenberg, "because of our long-standing commitment to developing emotional literacy." He named concepts such as the "emotional allergy negative infinity loop," "museum tour of past hurts and disappointments," and "healing the ledger," as innovative examples. These exercises, said Eisenberg, "represent practical skills that help participants develop emotional literacy." Skill training without the foundation of emotional literacy, he said, "is far less effective, leaving most graduates unprepared to deal with real problems under real stress." Dr. Kandel said at a news conference that his fascination with memory stems from his escape to America from Austria at the beginning of World War II. "We are who we are because of what we learn and what we remember, such as the traumatic experiences I had in Vienna and the more horrible experiences that others had who had more difficult times than I did, permanently scarring their lives, and to understanding what happens to the brain when that occurs," Dr. Kandel said.
