Inner Strengths is a groundbreaking book that fills a critical need in psychotherapy by providing a comprehensive exploration of ego-strengthening approaches. Written by two experienced psychotherapists who have actively contributed to developing newer, projective-evocative ego-strengthening techniques, this book emphasizes the utilization of patients' inner resources. It offers a historical perspective on ego-strengthening efforts and demonstrates how they connect with the rich traditions of psychotherapy. The authors provide step-by-step instructions for various ego-strengthening methods that can be applied for patient self-care, internal boundary formation, and personality maturation across different clinical conditions. Their discussion of ego-strengthening concepts draws from their theoretical and clinical explorations of dynamic internal resources such as memory, strength, wisdom, self-soothing, and love.


Throughout the book, theory is balanced with an abundance of extended clinical examples and practical ego-strengthening scripts. This classic edition is a valuable resource for seasoned clinicians of hypnosis as well as beginners seeking to enhance their understanding and practice of ego-strengthening techniques. By addressing the need for a comprehensive treatment of ego-strengthening in psychotherapy, Inner Strengths contributes to the advancement of this field and empowers patients to tap into their inner resources for personal growth and healing.
