Richard Schwartz: Internal Family Systems
|
|
| |
 |
|
Richard Schwartz earned his Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Purdue University, after which he began a long association with the Institute for Juvenile Research at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and more recently at The Family Institute at Northwestern University. He is coauthor, with Michael Nichols, of Family Therapy: Concepts and Methods, the most widely used family therapy text in the United States.
Dr. Schwartz developed Internal Family Systems (IFS) in response to clients’ descriptions of experiencing various parts within themselves. He saw these parts as forming an "internal family" within an individual, and started to work with the parts from a systems perspective. He noticed that addressing the parts' concerns reduced disruptions. This helps the client to accede to the wise leadership of what Dr. Schwartz came to call the “Self.” In 2000, Richard Schwartz founded The Center for Self Leadership in Oak Park, Illinois. Dr. Schwartz has published four books and over fifty articles about IFS.

Using the Flash player:
- The online player works best if you have a broadband connnection (cable or DSL), as opposed to dial-up.
- To start, press the Play button in the player above: 
- Once it has started to play, you'll see a Pause button in the player above: 
- SOUND: The sound level is controlled from the player.
BUT it will only go as loud as your computer's sound setting (and will not give out any sound if your computer's sound is on "mute". To adjust your sound settings on a Windows computer, go to the "Control
Panel," click on "Sound" and adjust the volume. If you
have external speakers, make sure they are on and the volume is adjusted
properly.
- If you see text instead of the Flash player graphics, this means you do not have Flash installed on your computer.
You can either download Flash... or you can save the file to your computer and play it there or on an MP3 player.
