The Others Within Us Internal Family Systems, Porous Mind, and Spirit Possession

Sparked by an IFS client's lifelong affliction with what appeared to be a malicious inner force, Robert Falconer embarked on a decade-long study, researching others within us from many different traditions and perspectives, and the sometimes tragic consequences of differing cultural beliefs. As he shares in this book, Bob's journey revealed to him much more than he expected. Beginning from what IFS refers to as unattached burdens and guides, in writing The Others Within Us, Bob has delved deeply into cultural views on spirit possession and an extensive exploration of porosity of mind. His research led him into the farther reaches of all these phenomena and the much broader implications to society. In this new book, Bob shares the results of his deep research and the methods he has developed to work with these entities from an IFS perspective.
