Product reviews for Ego State Therapy

An interesting and, in many ways, invigorating new look at Ego State Therapy has been presented by Dr. Gordon Emmerson of Australia.in his new book.

Dr. Emmerson takes the technique away from the usual neurosis therapies and/or personality dysfunctions and strides into the realm of developing innovative techniques with which to approach therapeutic dilemmas, experienced by the patient/client as ambivalence, feeling “stuck” in old patterns of behavior and interactions, processing intrusive traumatic experiences, and dealing with unwanted parts and aspects of the self.

As with all interesting and innovative approaches, there is bound to be some dissent from those who are tied to the more traditional usages"still, I might say, very useful"but that is part of growth, in any field. This book is an invitation to explore, go out on a bit of a therapeutic limb, and open new possibilities for therapist and client alike.
