I recommend certain books without reservation. These books are a necessary part of your education as an Inner Parent if you want to understand Self-Parenting as an Inner Parent. For example, until you read Parent Effectiveness Training by Thomas Gordon, you have no possible way of understanding the depths of Self-Parenting.

There are ten books in Chapter Twelve of SELF-PARENTING that are required reading for all practitioners. In fact, they represent only the floor of information you must understand if you want to comprehend the advanced teachings of Self-Parenting.
