About this listen

Now significantly revised with over 70 percent new material, this is the authoritative audio presentation of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, which is taught and practiced around the world.

IFS reveals how the subpersonalities or parts of each individual's psyche relate to each other like members of a family, and how - just as in a family - polarization among parts can lead to emotional suffering. IFS originator Richard Schwartz and master clinician Martha Sweezy explain core concepts and provide practical guidelines for implementing IFS with clients who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, and other behavioral problems. They also address strategies for treating families and couples. IFS therapy is listed in SAMHSA's National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices.

Internal Family Systems Therapyis deftly narrated by Brian Arens, a listener favorite.

Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Parts

Inspires me to look inside.

I learned about the inner parts, and it’s such big tool to take away. Now I will begin to practice and learn more about myself.

Mind blowing

IFS is my theoretical approach to Counseling , so I am obviously biased. But of all IFS books out there, this one is no doubt a must read.

Complete IFS theory overview for practitioners.

Excellent and thorough resource for practitioners seeking IFS theory overview and application examples. Consider the book “No Bad Parts” for a more accessible intro/overview to the theory/practice (i.e. for non-practicing individuals interested in learning more.)

Hypnosis by a different name. Wonderful!!

Loved it. I am trained in hypnotherapy. Schwartz says he doesn’t believe that his technique is hypnotic bc it doesn’t resemble his limited exposure to hypnosis in school (and he probably wants to avoid the baggage attached to hypnosis by stage/entertainment hypnosis), but there are a million different ways to induce trance, and he has stumbled upon one of them. That being said, his model for understanding the psyche is brilliant. His articulation of it is practical, accessible, and deeply interesting. The non-pathologizing approach seems like a huge step in the right direction. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in models of mind, and ways to heal the wounded and fearful parts. I think Schwartz’s model could be improved with a little emphasis on trance development and calibration, as offered in the field of hypnosis, but that is for him and his many practitioners to decide. Regardless, this book will definitely be on my “replay” list.

Blew my mind!

My eyes have opened wide and I have smiled with amazement when my client's parts have done exactly what this book says! This is amazing! I wasn't looking for a new intervention when helping my clients, but I can't ignore their managers, firefighters, and exiles. They won't let you! I bought this book after reading "The Body Keeps Score".

A well-structured, in-depth look at IFS

The book is very well written, and goes to great lengths to explain and illustrate the concepts of IFS. The audio and narration quality are also very good. It might be more useful for mental health experts, but the general public will definitely benefit from listening to it as well.
