Dr. Daube holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Saint Louis University. After completing grad school, Dr. Daube began working as a staff psychologist for the California Department of Corrections-Juvenile Division (CDC-J).
It was at CDC-J that Dr. Daube developed the Emotions As Tools Model in order to communicate, teach and treat the female adolescents incarcerated on the Intensive Treatment Unit to which he was assigned. All of these young women experienced some form of abuse which led to their serious emotional issues. Their crimes were understandable, though not justified, by their inability to express, understand, or deal with their feelings. Their primary methods of "expressing" their emotions included hurtling others, hurting themselves, or self-medicating with drugs.
The Emotions as Tools Model was effective in providing these women (and later, men) with both a model for making sense out of feelings and a methodology for effectively using their emotions to improve their own lives and their relationships with others.
Dr. Daube promoted to a Senior Psychologist-Supervisor and used the Emotions As Tools Model as a trainer of upper level managers in the California Department of Corrections- Adult and Juvenile Divisions in the areas of Stress Management and Conflict Resolution. Dr. Daube retired from CDC-J after a 30 year career.
Dr. Daube ia also a Senior Adjunct Professor of Psychology at the University of LaVerne in So. California and teaches a variety of courses including LifeSpan Development, Cognitive Psychology and Abnormal Psychology. In his Personal Growth class, Dr. Daube discovered that many of his students experienced challenges with understanding and using their emotions. The Emotions As Tools Model was also effective in a University setting.
As a consultant, Dr. Daube has worked with and introduced the Emotions As Tools Model to the Air National Guard and local Law Enforcement.
Dr. Daube has also presented the Emotions As Tools Model as an onboard Enrichment speaker in the Cruise industry.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Ed Daube, Ph.D.
I believe that much of the information that is available instructing people how to control, ignore through distraction, or deny their emotions is not very helpful.
One example is the notion that there are negative and positive emotions. Yes, there are emotions that feel good and others that feel bad. But the word "negative" implies that we should eliminate some feelings. The fact is that all feelings are adaptive. Mislabeling a feeling as negative is misleading and, sometimes, destructive.
The Emotions As Tools Model offers a different, and effective, way to understand and utlilize YOUR feelings to improve YOUR life and YOUR relationships
