Internal Family Systems

Psychotherapy model

The Internal Family Systems Model (IFS) is an integrative approach to individual psychotherapy developed by Richard C. Schwartz in the 1980s. It combines systems thinking with the view that the mind is made up of relatively discrete subpersonalities, each with its own unique viewpoint and qualities. IFS uses systems psychology, particularly as developed for family therapy, to understand how these collections of subpersonalities are organized. Parts. IFS posits that the mind is made up of multiple parts, and underlying them is a person's core or true Self. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_Family_Systems_Model
