Michael L. Emmons (Author)
Michael Emmons, PhD, is a psychologist in private practice,
who has been a consultant to educational, government and business
organizations, a trainer of marriage and family counseling interns
at California Polytechnic State University, and author/co-author of
seven books.
Emmons and assertiveness training became synonymous when he
co-authored Your Perfect Right with Robert Alberti. Since
1970, he has devoted much of his life's work to furthering and
understanding assertiveness. Although his focus on assertive living
has taken center stage, he has been an innovator in terms of
dealing with the whole person, mentally, physically and
spiritually.
A lifelong meditator, Emmons has practiced daily, often in the
garden by a koi pond. This practice helped him form his approach to
psychology and led him to develop the system he calls meditative
therapy. The Inner Source: A Guide to Meditative Therapy
first detailed this holistic, eyes-closed method that facilitates
an inner source to generate therapeutic and creative experiences.
Meditative Therapy expands on this method as a therapeutic
modality with wide ranging mental, physical, emotional and
spiritual effects.
