It seems like a pretty basic torts thing for the E and E to cover but I cannot find it

The E&E isn't the end all be all of everything. I think it covers three (two?) intentional torts. Try the casebook.

no no I really wanted the examples and explanations for it. Obviously I have other means of finding out what it is.

Most (some? whatever) of the intentional torts aren't in the E&E, sorry.

Check out the Prosser & Keeton hornbook. I'm sure your library has a copy. it has a solid chapter on IIED. Sure, it doesn't have hypos, but you can't say it isn't comprehensive enough to get all the little nuances.

The E&E doesn't have a section on IIED? Lame. That was the only intentional tort I'd like to do some hypos for. CALI, here I come.

There's a CALI lesson on it if you want to test yourself. Its under Torts-->Intentional Infliction of Mental Distress.

Its not that great.
