Internal Family Systems Model

Internal Family Systems Model

The Internal Family Systems Model (IFS) is an integrative approach to psychotherapy, relationship counseling, and family therapy developed by Richard C. Schwartz, Ph.D. It combines systems thinking and multiplicity of the mind, and applies the theories of family therapy to the intrapsychic world of "subpersonalities".
