About:  

 

Internal family systems, or IFS, is a type of therapy that believes people are made up of several parts or sub-personalities. It draws from structural, strategic, narrative, and Bowenian types of family therapy. The theory, according to the founder of IFS, Dr. Richard Schwartz, is that people have several parts living within them that have both healthy and unhealthy roles. The assumption is all parts belong and in their non-extreme roles, have something positive for the individual. One goal of IFS therapy is to discover the core Self and become Self-led, which can bring harmony and balance to and with these parts in one’s internal family system.
