We all have had the experience of being divided, of being in two minds
about something. Subpersonalities is the first book to do justice to the
phenomena as a normal feature of our psychological life.We all have had the experience of being divided, of being in two minds'
about something - one part of us wants to do this, another wants to do that.
Subpersonalities is the first book to do justice to the phenomenon as a normal
feature of our psychological life. John Rowan argues that we all have a number
of personalities that express themselves in different situations and that by
recognising them we can come to understand ourselves better and improve our
relationships with others. Anyone reading this book will run the risk of making
quite new discoveries about themselves. In looking at where subpersonalities
come from, John Rowan explores the work of psychologists and psychotherapists,
from Jung and Freud onwards, and adds insights gained from his own work as a
therapist and counsellor. He relates the journey of discovery that he himself
undertook in search of his own subpersonalities. The result is a fascinating
book that challenges our accepted view of ourselves and provides an intriguing
picture of how human beings work and why communication between them so often
goes wrong.; Subpersonalties is a book for anyone interested in their own personality
and how it helps or hinders their everyday life.
