(2) Watkins, J., & Watkins, H. (1982). Ego state therapy.

This list of publications goes back to the early 1930's and shows that by the 1970's there was clear recognition of the existence of inner protector characters, if not as functional protectors then at least as separate sub-personalities or  ego states. This bibliography includes most of Schwartz’ and Watkins’ lists (which are almost identical) with some later additions including my own. Please e-mail me if you have further titles or authors to add..... bligh4@growingaware.com

Internal family systems therapy by Schwartz is excellent reading. Schwartz uses different terms (for example what we call selves he calls   'parts'; our disowned selves are his  'exiles' and his concept of an energy that equates somewhat to the aware ego or grown-up self or  higher self.) Apart from that, he could be writing about the psychology of the selves as we know it and his explanations have contributed a great deal to my understanding of what makes it all 'tick' .
Hal and Sidra Stone have of course have added so much more in terms of energy work, especially personal and impersonal energies and the spiritual dimension. Schwartz (and the Watkins) offer guidance  towards  a clinical understanding of what goes on behind the scenes.
