Customer Reviews
I am a psychotherapist of 30 years, specializing in treatment of trauma and anxiety. Discovering the work of Richard Schwartz (Internal Family Systems) added clarity and additional components to my work. Utilizing IFS has made me a more effective therapist. The work of Jay Earley has taken the theory and made it more applicable to both me and my clients. Not only did I gain skills and knowledge reading Self-Therapy, but recommending to my clients augments my work and helps my clients “get” IFS. I highly recommend this and all of the work of Dr. Jay Earley.

Having been a clinical psychologist for the past thirty years, I was very excited to have discovered the power of Internal Family Systems work. Jay’s books have helped make IFS very clear and easy to learn. In his recent book, Jay has taken several common, but difficult problems (procrastination, self hatred, eating disorders) and helped the reader apply IFS theory to them. HIs writing is very clear and engaging and he is a joy to read. I highly recommend this book to all those who are interested in learning IFS.
