Description

A Population of Selves by Erving Polster offers new insights into the concept of self and its therapeutic utility. In this important work, Polster expands upon the idea that every person is composed of multiple selves, each with its own distinct character. Through case examples from his own practice, Polster illustrates eight pathways for therapists to help patients realize a powerful and healthy sense of self. By synthesizing alienated aspects of a person, therapists can create a more comprehensive understanding of their clients' inner worlds. This book provides innovative approaches to therapeutic theory, helping practitioners to better support their patients in achieving a more integrated sense of identity.
