Most of us assume we have one fixed self, and we tend to feel ashamed when thoughts or impulses seem to clash with the person we believe we should be. Dr. Richard Schwartz challenges this single-mind view. He argues that everyone is made up of many inner sub-personalities, or parts, that function like a family. This book presents his Internal Family Systems model, which has been applied to trauma, addiction and depression. It explores how parts become burdened by early experiences, how the inner critic and other protective roles operate, and how a core Self can guide them toward healing. Practical exercises help readers map their parts and get to know them.
