The Inner Team is a personality model created by German psychologist Friedemann Schulz von Thun. [1] The plurality of the human inner life or parts of the personality [2] ( Self) is presented using a metaphor of a team and a team leader. This is supposed to support the self-clarification process and by doing so set the foundation for a clear and authentic external communication. Human communication features an interpersonal and individual side.
In the first two volumes of his seminal work Miteinander reden (engl. Talking to each other), Schulz von Thun deals with the topic of functioning communication. His work reveals that one of the most important requirements for clear communication is self-clarification. In 1998, Thun published Miteinander reden 3, which expands his theory of communication to the notion of the Inner Team. By introducing the model of the Inner Team, he wants to provide instructions for self-help.
The Inner Team is a modification of the Parts Party, a method from systemic family therapy, which was developed by Virginia Satir in the 1970s. Additionally, his model draws upon the interacting personality traits withing a human being that, amongst others, have been described by Margaret Paul and Erika J. Chopich. [3]
