We can track down Gordon Emmerson’s first research, in a Wikipedia article.
So if you wish to know more you will see his Ph.D. thesis on menstrual migraine and Ego State Therapy here. Ego State Therapy (EST) underpins Resource Therapy (RT). Some of you will know RT has been called Advanced Ego State Therapy as a nod to its historical origins.

IN-PERSON TRAINING IN PERTH
Resource Therapy is a trauma-informed, structured Parts Therapy model with its foundations in Ego State Therapy. Its focus is working with personality parts that are vaded, confused, conflicted and /or stuck. The model works to address the core causes of the client’s presenting concerns, which naturally means symptoms either lessen or disappear. It also aims to resolve and reframe the internal and external relationship with past events so there may no longer be the same confusion or distress-related association with past experiences.
Resource Therapy allows therapists to respond directly to the precise personality part that holds the problem. Many therapies speak with an intellectual, talkative, reporter part that is not directly related to the presenting issue.
Professor Gordon Emmerson pioneered this brief strength-based parts therapy.
THIS COURSE IS PRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY USEFUL IN GETTING YOU UP AND RUNNING WITH THESE TECHNIQUES.

As you know I am passionate about Resource Therapy (RT). One of the things that speak to me is the support of the 15 Treatment Actions. When I first studied Ego State Therapy and to be honest looking at Internal Family System it lacked the structure needed to follow it.
I didn’t have a rationale for why I was doing an intervention or step or what was the step best suited to the client’s goals and objectives.
Talk about clueless. Stumbling around in the dark produced some mixed results to say the least.
Once Professor Gordon Emmerson recognized the need for careful and strategic steps, grounded in his theory of personality things a light bulb went off in my head. Therapy sessions became so much clearer, easier and dare I say it more seamless for my clients.
The 15 Resource Therapy Actions guide and inform the roadmap for change in supporting our clients to reach their objectives. We don’t have to be robot therapists, you supply your creativity. This framework allows just the right amount of structure with flexibility.
