Product Description
Applying family systems concepts to the intrapsychic realm, the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model proposes that individuals' subpersonalities interact and change in many of the same ways as do families and other human groups. Seasoned practitioner Richard C. Schwartz illuminates how parts of a person can form paralyzing inner alliances resembling the destructive coalitions found in dysfunctional families, and provides straightforward guidelines for incorporating the IFS model into treatment. A valuable text and clinical resource, the book demonstrates in step-by-step detail how therapists can help individuals, couples, and families tap core resources, bring balance and harmony to their subpersonalities, and feel more integrated, confident, and alive.

Internal Family Systems October 8, 2008
Jeanine M. Swenson (Milwaukee, WI)
An excellent and provocative review of the internal family systems paradigm, I thoroughly enjoyed this extremely well written review. This is a must read for any professional in both the traditional and mental health fields who works with families.
Groundbreaking insight. July 21, 2008

Dr. Richard Schwartz contributes groundbreaking insights and a fresh model that is surprisingly effective for healing our inner battles...not just coping with them.
Great Introduction to Internal Family Systems Therapy February 9, 2008

Dr. Charles Schultz offers an articulate and lucid rational for his modality then proceeds with a detailed guide to practicing. This book was very helpful to me as a lay person.

I first heard of Internal Family Systems theory from another book and found that I connected with this type of therapy immediately. I then ordered this book and found that it was easy to understand and yet had a profound theoretical basis that I could apply not only to my clients but to my own life as well. This book gave a clear and convincing view of IFS. I strongly recommend it for students, therapists, and social workers who are interested in both systems theory and the intrapsychic realm of therapy.
Excellent synthesis November 9, 2006

This is an overlooked work that should be on the popular self help as well as the professional's shelf. Dr. Schwartz has created an excellent synthesis of family therapy with traditional analysis techniques. The result is a simple, easily understandable but powerful framework for examining the individual psyche. While the writing style is dry and pedantic, the approach is brilliantly simple and easily applied. Without knocking the quick fixes of popular psychology, a lot of people should put down the best seller with the catchy title and read this book.
