Peichl, Jochen: Ego-State-Therapie - Wirkweise und Methoden

Ego-States arise as an adaptation response to early stress. Although they used to solve problems, they are no longer adequate today. They cannot be deleted without any further because they were successful in their effect.
Jochen Peichl conveys a comprehensive and nuanced image of ego state therapy, well understood for laymen. It represents how the inner reality is usually better described by inner variety, a multidimensional/multi-modal self than about the idea of a consistent self. When presenting various part therapy models, he describes parts as behavioral and experience systems, in which their own affections, body sensations, thoughts, pictures and memories outlast time and join together into a whole. He discusses the voltage ratio between self and parts and shows how in each individual part a whole universe is included. He discusses the origins, backgrounds and developments in ego state therapy and shows when it connects well with trauma therapy, or when it is contraindicated.
