Publisher's Summary

Now significantly revised with over 70 percent new material, this is the authoritative audio presentation of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, which is taught and practiced around the world.

IFS reveals how the subpersonalities or "parts" of each individual's psyche relate to each other like members of a family, and how - just as in a family - polarization among parts can lead to emotional suffering. IFS originator Richard Schwartz and master clinician Martha Sweezy explain core concepts and provide practical guidelines for implementing IFS with clients who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, and other behavioral problems. They also address strategies for treating families and couples. IFS therapy is listed in SAMHSA's National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices.

Internal Family Systems Therapy is deftly narrated by Brian Arens, an Audible listener favorite.

Fantastic! I’m a newbie. Not a therapist

I’m a lay person not a therapist. And I found this book great! Very helpful. Like way better than standard self-help fare.

A good book if your wanting to learn how to undo the past.

It is quite a long listen but IFST is a great way to learn about not only undoing trauma but also a great tool for bringing people together. Great book would recommend.

amazing

if I could write a book about my life and how it started with truma.. and my thoughts on my life this is it. my last therapy session I said to my therapist.. I can now sit with myself.
it's a amazing. This book is validating, everything IV spoken about with family in hope to help them, but couldn't really articulate is in this book. someone gets me. this is a must read. I'm dyslexic.. so please don't comment on my grammar/spelling.thanks.

couldn't get past the reader

The person who narrated, no offense and who ever thought this sounded right... no offense. Sorry but sounds partially robotic.
