AlbakiReads Editorial

A cross-cultural study of the “others within”

Robert Falconer connects Internal Family Systems (IFS) with the idea of unattached burdens—experiences described in the source as something in the mind that does not feel like part of oneself. The book combines case studies, an IFS-oriented account of working with these burdens, and a survey of how people in different cultures and historical periods have understood and approached them. Its subject sits at the intersection of psychotherapy and spiritual interpretations of inner experience, raising questions about how the mind is understood and how healing is approached.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People interested in Internal Family Systems and psychotherapy
  • Readers exploring cross-cultural perspectives on inner experience
  • Those interested in spiritually integrated approaches to healing

Book overview

Sparked by an Internal Family Systems (IFS) client's lifelong affliction with an unattached burden-something in her mind that was not part of her-Bob Falconer began a decade-long study of the others within us and how they are treated worldwide. This study is important to all of us because what it reveals about the nature of mind holds a key to healing our underlying alienation and isolation.

 

The Others Within Us includes:

  • case studies
  • a detailed description of how to work with unattached burdens from an IFS perspective
  • an extensive survey of how people have worked with the others within in times past and in many cultures around the world.

 

The journey Bob has taken goes to the farther reaches of human experience. It has revealed insights and understandings that can't help but cause the reader to expand their beliefs about the nature of mind and healing.
