LEVEL 1 TRAINING
PROGRAMME
INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS
INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS
Internal Family Systems is at the forefront of a movement toward a more collaborative therapeutic approach that relies on clients’ intuitive wisdom.
IFSSM is one of the fastest growing psychotherapeutic models in the field today, offering a clear, non-pathologising, and empowering view of
human cognitive and emotional life. IFS provides a dynamic therapeutic approach that allows both therapist and client to enter a transformational
relationship in which healing occurs.
THE INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS MODEL
Dr. Richard Schwartz, PhD, LMFT, has been developing the IFS model over the past 30 years, with IFS now practiced by thousands of therapists and
other professionals throughout the United States and internationally. Mental health care professionals and others trained in the IFS model easily
integrate it into a wide variety of practices using the unique methods IFS offers to create safe environments for clients to become Self-transforming.
Internal Family Systems therapy is a simple yet sophisticated integration of psychology, spirituality, and intra-psychic and family systems theory that:
