More DescriptionPersonality parts are Resources and when a Resource becomes pathological the result is distress. It is my contention that some personality parts carry negative affect (Vaded States), some carry out unwanted behavior (Retro States), and some are conflicted with other states (Conflicted States). The precise condition of each pathological state can be diagnosed to understand the dynamic role it has assumed within the personality. This book will assist in the understanding of the etiology of issues including, but not limited to, OCD, depression, eating disorders, addictions, and PTSD. Technique regimens for working directly with the different Pathological States are clearly presented and illustrated. These techniques will enable therapists to gain direct access to the personality parts that hold pathology and to assist in resolution. Resolving the pathology of the Resource States alleviates the causes of psychological distress, and frees Personality Resources to resume positive functions.
