## Description

Introduction to Internal Family Systems [Schwartz PhD, Richard] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Introduction to Internal Family Systems

Review: A wonderful introduction to a profound idea - This is an excellent, accessible, and powerful overview of the fundamental ideas in IFS. I am a practicing psychiatrist, and have found IFS to be a terrific way of working with people. IFS addresses people as complex, social beings, and appreciates their complexity. But at the same time, it avoids the guild-language jargon of conventional psychobabble. Dynamically trained therapists will find in IFS a congenial way of using their knowledge in a much more accessible form for their patients. Also, IFS is fundamentally optimistic about the capacity for humans to live fulfilled, happy lives. Strongly recommended!
Review: Enjoyable and Informative - I purchased this book after researching a bit on IFS and noticing that it is a required reading for the trainings offered by the IFS institute if you want to become certified or official. This book is an easy read and maintained my attention. I especially appreciated the multitude of metaphors, examples, and quotations to help the reader understand each topic in question. I believe that this book is primarily geared towards letting client's of therapists using the IFS model/intervention understand the process and purpose, and not necessarily how to use the model; which is what I was expecting in addition to some explanation of the origin and terminology. That may have been a fault of my own, but it is OK because I still found this book to be useful. I am eager to learn more about this model and how it can be applied to therapy. IFS generally reminds me a lot of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), but it uses different terms. I expect that I will use more ACT in my work setting and use this as an intervention to achieve distancing the "Self" from thoughts.
