Do you feel stuck? Is your life - and are your relationships - lacking in spark, intimacy and vulnerability? Do you find that therapy just doesn't quite work for you, though you've tried it several times? It's time to try a different way of thinking, feeling and being. Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS) is the fastest growing psychotherapy in the world - perhaps because it can be used in everyday life, at any different level, by anyone willing to embrace the paradigm shift of parts and self-leadership. In Internal Family Systems: Making A Start, leading IFS therapist Emma Redfern will introduce the revolutionary concept of multiplicity, or parts, in a book which will challenge everything ...
Internal Family Systems Therapy: Supervision and Consultation showcases the skills of Richard C. Schwartz and other leading IFS consultants and supervisors. Using unique case material, models, and diagrams, each contributor illustrates IFS techniques that assist clinicians in unblending and accessing Self-energy and Self-leadership. The book features examples of clinical work with issues such as bias, faith, sexuality, and sexual hurts. Individual chapters focus on therapist groups, such as Black Therapists Rock, and on work with specific populations, including children and their caregivers, veterans, eating disordered clients, therapists with serious illnesses, and couples. This thought-provoking book offers an opportunity for readers to reflect on their own supervision and consultation (both the giving and receiving of it). It explores what is possible and preferable at different stages of development when using the IFS model.
Transitioning to Internal Family Systems Therapy is a guide to resolving the common areas of confusion and stuckness that professionals often experience when facilitating the transformational potential of the IFS model. Real-life clinical and autobiographical material is used throughout from the author’s supervision practice, together with insights from IFS developer Richard C. Schwartz and other lead trainers and professionals. With the use of reflective and practical exercises, therapists and practitioners (those without a foundational therapy training) are encouraged to get to know and attend to their own inner family of parts, especially those who may be struggling to embrace the new modality. Reflective statements by professionals on their own journeys of transition feature as a unique element of the book. Endnotes provide the reader with additional information and direct them to key sources of information on IFS.
