Subpersonalities: The People Inside Us.

Covering the phenomenon of the divided self, how part of us wants to do this, another wants to do that, the author argues that we all have a number of personalities that express themselves in different situations and that by recognizing them we can come to understand ourselves better and improve our relationships with others.

In looking at where subpersonalities come from, the author explores ideas from the earliest times--4000 BC--through the work of Mesmer in the 19th century up to the more recent ideas of the 1960's and the present day and adds insights gained from his own work as a consultant psychologist, a therapist and counselor. He has been studying subpersonalities and running numerous workshops on the subject for the past 20 years.
