Introduction to internal family systems
Book - 2023
"Internal Family Systems (IFS) has transformed the practice of psychotherapy. Its breakthrough revelation is that we each contain an "internal family" of distinct parts -- and that treating these parts with curiosity, respect, and empathy vastly expands our capacity to heal. Here, the creator of IFS presents the ideal layperson's guide for understanding this empowering, effective, and non-pathologizing approach to self-discovery, wellness, and transformation."--back cover.
