Richard Schwartz

Developer of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model; Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

IFS(Internal Family Systems) views the symptoms of mental health as various expressions of parts rather than pathological aspects. It presents a way that helps you understand how each part works together and how to heal the structural dynamics such as their functioning and conflicts, and alliances. This treatment can be particularly effective for those experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and drug abuse-related trauma. IFS presents a new approach to the field of psychotherapy and counseling and provides numerous examples and techniques for meditation-based healing.
