Numerous psychological theory models seek to describe and explain the functioning of, the different aspects of our neurophysiology\/personality and these in turn are used to explain our thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. Examples early on include Freud\u2019s&nbsp;id, ego and super-ego&nbsp;and later on Eric Berne replaced these ego states with:&nbsp;Parent, Adult and Child. Added to this is the work of psychiatrist Steve Peters and his model which uses&nbsp;chimp, human and computer. Richard Schwartz\u2019s Internal Family systems also presents us with a way of looking at our inner \u2018family\u2019 or the differing parts of ourself. All of these models can be useful in counselling as a way of clients gaining a) a better understanding of the different parts of themselves and b) Ideas around better managing these internal aspects or&nbsp;parts&nbsp;they navigate their way through the world. Finally, we take a brief look at schema therapy and again the approach to \u2018parts\u2019 of the self."}
