Understand your psyche in a clear and comprehensive way, and resolve deep-seated emotional issues. Self-Therapy makes the power of a cutting-edge psychotherapy approach accessible to everyone. Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) has been spreading rapidly across the country in the past decade. It is incredibly effective on a wide variety of life issues, such as self-esteem, procrastination, depression, and relationship issues. IFS is also user-friendly; it helps you to comprehend the complexity of your psyche. Dr. Earley shows how IFS is a complete method for psychological healing that you can use on your own.

Self-Therapy is also helpful for therapists because it presents the IFS model in such detail that it is a manual for the method.

To learn IFS therapy, GET THIS BOOK.

ByRuss Poolon October 27, 2009

Format: Paperback

If you're wanting to learn IFS, GET THIS BOOK. I couldn't repeat that too much.

I took the official IFS Level I trainings, 6 long weekends and many thousand dollars. On the very last weekend I dove into "Self Therapy." It was only then that I got the practical how to of IFS. Jay Earley's writing made it click.

The author made what seemed so vague and impractical during the training come alive. His straight forward writing and descriptive images communicate the practical side. His introduction makes sense to my clients. His condensed version of an IFS session at the back of the book is worth the price several times over. Need I say more? If you want to learn IFS, GET THIS BOOK.

Self-Therapy... Jay Earley

ByKathy F. Graceon October 21, 2009

Format: Paperback

This text is invaluable for clinicians as well as for individuals who want to do internal psychological healing work on their own. Dr. Earley explains each concept in several different ways to ensure clarity and the illustrations are a great visual look at how our 'Parts' interact with each other. He had supplied comprehensive, exciting and 'do-able homework' that walks us through each concept. This methodology brings compassion and deep respect for client's and their 'Parts', while offering an experiential way for us to get to know our Selves.

I am on my second read and still catching nuances that I missed the first time. This will be a book that I will re-read many times and will consult frequently.

The missing manual for my brain

ByDiviaon February 18, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Reading Self-Therapy was extremely illuminating--as though someone had given me the missing manual for my brain. I now have difficulty imagining how I functioned without this understanding and perspective, and I think the short answer is that I didn't function nearly as well. This book is a reliable, straightforward set of instructions for transforming any unhealthy behavior or thought pattern, and releasing any unwanted emotional response. If that sounds too good to be true, it's also completely fun to do the work: I get to go into a trance state, peek behind the curtain of my mind, become conscious of what is driving my behavior, and solve the problem by being creative with imagery.

This book is a very clearly written and easy to understand set of instructions for doing IFS therapy, which is so powerful that I am somewhat confused about why everyone isn't using it. Self-Therapy profoundly improved my effectiveness at accomplishing my goals and increased my overall sense of well-being. I recommend it to everyone I know.

If you do read the book, my one recommendation is to actually try the process outlined within on yourself, preferably with a friend to help. It took me a while to figure out how to use the system, but ever since I have done so I have a method I know will work for gaining clarity, changing behavior patterns, and have fun while doing it, so no problem in my life feels intractable and suffering seems entirely optional. It's that powerful. Let this book change your life.

A most clinically useful guide for working with Inner States

ByGus Murrayon November 17, 2010

Format: Paperback

I have been using Ego State approaches in the teaching and practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy for the past 20 years. For many years I have drawn on the Transactional Analysis theory of Ego states and found it most helpful, especially when used in conjunction with the more creative methodology of Gestalt therapy. A number of years ago I got introduced to the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of Ego States developed by Richard Schwartz. This opened up the Ego state field for me and expanded Ego States beyond the Parent, Adult and Child model of Transactional Analysis. It also offered very rich and promising possibilities for working with Ego states in the clinical setting. However it was when I read Self-Therapy that the possibilities of the IFS approach really came to life for me. I have found Self-Therapy to be one of the most clinically useful sources that I have come across in quite a while. Somehow, it expertly unpacks the IFS approach, and I find myself using it very actively with clients in a way that represents a considerable advance over my previous use of ego state methodology. I have told many of my clients, colleagues, and supervisees about the book and they are finding it helpful also. I am using it in teaching Ego state theory and practice to Adult Counseling and Psychotherapy trainees. They are reading the book and actively engaged with the experiential exercises contained in the accompanying workbook. In Self-Therapy Jay Earley does full justice to the depth and complexity of the IFS approach but presents it in a most accessible and user-friendly way. The test of this is that people with no previous experience of the Ego States or IFS approaches can readily grasp and apply the concepts.
