Author: Martha Sweezy ISBN : Product Detai New from Format: PDFInternal Family Systems therapy, or IFS, is widely recognized as one of the most compassionate and comprehensive psychotherapies available. Its non-pathologizing approaches to behavior, consciousness, and personality have been adopted by clinicians around the world, but with the exception of Richard Schwartz’s foundational introductory text, few texts give clinicians the information they need on adapting the IFS framework to patients’ complex and diverse needs and circumstances. Internal Family Systems Therapy changes that. The chapters focus on topics common in therapists’ practice, and each provides both a refreshing approach to sometimes-thorny issues, and clear, practical guidance for how best to explore them in treatment. For any practitioner interested in learning about this vital, vibrant form of therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy is the perfect introduction. For clinicians already part of the IFS community, this book is bound to become one of the most essential tools in their toolbox.

Internal Family Systems Therapy: New Dimensions PDF
If this book will be your introduction to Internal Family Systems (IFS), you've picked the right one. If you think this will be the only book you'll read on IFS it's still the right choice. But keep an open mind as the subject is intriguing enough to warrant a good deal of study. I speak as an interested reader in the realm of psychology, not a professional practioner. A great deal of writing in this field (as in others) is jargon-laden, convoluted, and speaks to arguments I neither need nor care about. This book, by contrast, takes the reader deep into one of the most interesting new paths in psychotherapy in a language clear and free of cant.By Rosey
An amazing feat of the editors is to have taken 11 different writers' voices and made sure each is distinct and crystalline. As a writer myself, I'm thrilled by this skill in an editor. Too often, muddiness is clarified at the expense of individuality, but not in these essays.
The essays themselves cover various applications of the IFS principles in several different settings and client groups. Beginning with the practitioner's rationale for using IFS in her particular area of expertise, each finishes with case study examples. This is tremendously enlightening, as the reader can see exactly how the principles are put to task in a working session. And the book is alive with people.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in current developments in psychotherapy.
This is a wonderful new book giving many new perspectives on the Internal Family Systems model of therapy. While I absolutely hate the model's name--since it is not family therapy and is not systems therapy--but is instead a form of individual therapy--I love the results it can achieve. I have personally experienced the power of this model to transform one's internal integration.By SaulK
The basics of IFS are that multiplicity is normal (who doesn't have a running internal dialogue every day of life?)and that the key to mental health and integration is to use the resource of Self--the calm, loving, good, wise essence at the core of each person--to connect with and balance all the competing "parts" of the person into a harmonious "Self-led" whole. Really it is Mindfulness Plus--in that the subject enters a meditative mindful state under the guidance of the therapist, but then instead of just noticing thoughts, feelings, worries instead engages in healing dialogues with those "parts" from the open, caring Self place.
This book is really delightful in its presentation of the many different ways in which this "Self--parts" paradigm may be used for individual, couple, group, world, healing and transformation. A great contribution to the literature.
Love it!
