Internal Family Systems Therapy, Second Edition

By: Richard C. Schwartz, Martha Sweezy

Narrated by: Brian Arens

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.

Excellent

Interesting and compelling approach to resolving inner and external conflicts and trauma with compassion and structure where is generous

Necessary read

Such great work but also presented in a way that is easily understood. I feel everyone should read!

A revolution

IFS is nothing short of a revolution in the understanding of what it means to be human, and this revolution brings with it tools that have the promise of making us healthy as individuals, families, nations and a common world. This sounds like so much hyperbole, but it is, as far as I can tell, simply the truth. Therapists, philosophers, scientists, politicians, activists and regular people, study IFS, now!

Fantastic

Brilliant method kudos to Dick Schwartz for developing a life changing, easy to use system.

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.
