Product reviews for Ego State Therapy

We have all experienced good teachers in our time ” someone who engages us, holds our attention and shares knowledge with us, filling us with enthusiasm for the subject. Gordon Emmerson is such a teacher. His practical approach of providing the theory of a technique, demonstrating the technique and then monitoring his students as they practice the technique is unsurpassed.

Gordon has successfully transposed his teaching expertise into this book that has been described by a Professor as “a classic as an essential text.” A book that meets the needs of all readers, regardless of their level of expertise in Ego State Therapy.

The author discusses the goals and benefits of Ego State Therapy and the nature, development and permanence of ego states. He includes the steps to be taken in numbered point form, offering a full explanation of each step and “demonstrates” with client/therapist dialogue. The only thing missing is for the author to be there when the student practices. At the end of the book, we are taken through 3 sessions; each step is fully explained and there is no holding back of information.



I have fulsome praise for this most welcome text that gives valuable insight into Ego State Therapy and a practical approach to using the techniques in one's practice.
