Please?
Not a university textbook, but a serious one.
Preferably in evolutionary psychology.

Emotional Intelligence or Social Intelligence by Daniel Goleman. He is one of the first Authors to write on the subject and did pretty well.

Klaus Holzkamp - Grundlegung Der Psychologie

Classic book on Critical Psychology (Marxist critique and thoughts about mainstream psychology; warning: some of the literature on the topic is heavily loaded with Freudian and Dialectical blabber, but it has some good ideas and valid critique of mainstream psychology nonetheless).
