Summary
Richard C. Schwartz: Internal Family Systems
We are all familiar with internal dialogue, self-doubt, self-criticism - yet most of us still believe we have one whole mind. The innovation introduced by Dr. Richard Schwartz was that he recognized that each of us carries within us an "inner family" of different parts—and that treating those parts with curiosity, respect, and empathy greatly expands our ability to heal. Over the past two decades, the internal family systems model has transformed the practice of psychotherapy. The book Internal Wasteful Systems is an ideal guide for a general audience to understand this empowering, effective and non-pathologizing approach to self-study and healing. The book contains practical examples and self-help tools that will help you to:
-Free your wounded parts from extreme beliefs, emotions and addictions
-Clarify the most incomprehensible parts - renegades, managers and firefighters
-Transform your most challenging parts from inner obstacles to valuable allies
-Accept the existence of innate human goodness - in yourself and others
-You will connect with your true self that is greater than the sum of your parts.
