Internal Family Systems Therapy, Second Edition

De: Richard C. Schwartz, Martha Sweezy

Narrado por: 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.

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.

Great therapy book!

I have a client who often changes voices as they talked. They had been previously diagnosed with DID, which doesn’t really qualify. While working on my next level of licensure, my supervisor suggested I look into this therapy. I think it’s going to be great for my client and I look forward to learning more about this.

Engaging material & interesting therapy system

This book first appeared in my Spotify premium
recommendations, but with their limited hours I turned to Audible. After I finished “The Body Says No” by Gabor Maté, I turned to this book on IFS therapy.

It was confusing at first with the constant use of the word “parts” but the narrator does a good job of sounding vital, with some fluctuations in tone, which helps make the material easy to understand and not as overwhelming.

I’m an aspiring therapist and love learning about therapeutic methods and different parts of the psyche, etc. This system of “parts” is so Jungian coded and talking directly with the parts - aka aspects of the unconscious- reminds me a lot of Tara Brach’s RAIN method. But it is more accessible I think and gets straight to the point, which can be helpful. I applied IFS to myself and feel more integrated because of it, for which I’m grateful.

The cherry on top was Richard Schwartz’s analysis on the USA’s parts and how that affects individuals, and how’s it done so overtime. I really appreciate this because the individual has be seen in the context of the environment they live in. I especially appreciate the discussions on racism, sexism, and homophobia.

I can’t wait to get my license and go on to become certified in IFS. Such a wonderful strategy.

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!

Brilliantly done!

Excellent, well presented book on IFS; a clear, motivating, and encouraging way to access and heal all your parts. Thank you! A+++

insightful book

Book was a great look into IFS Therapy and it's inner workings. I wish the last two chapters were flipped as one of them about it's place in the world is one you can skip, and the other has important insights about the therapy and a patient in IFS.

Very informative and powerful

A very informative and thorough explanation of IFS therapy. Having gone through this mode of therapy my life has changed and I hope to be able to use this information to equip myself to better understand my parts

Trauma treatment

I like this book a lot and will continue to seek out more training on it. I will say it did seem like one section repeated but the information is so informative that it was helpful.
