Internal Family Systems Therapy Supervision and Consultation

Internal Family Systems Therapy: Supervision and Consultation showcases the skills of Richard C. Schwartz and other leading IFS consultants and supervisors. Using unique case material, models, and diagrams, each contributor illustrates IFS techniques that assist clinicians in unblending and accessing Self-energy and Self-leadership. The book features examples of clinical work with issues such as bias, faith, sexuality, and sexual hurts. Individual chapters focus on therapist groups, such as Black Therapists Rock, and on work with specific populations, including children and their caregivers, veterans, eating disordered clients, therapists with serious illnesses, and couples. This thought-provoking book offers an opportunity for readers to reflect on their own supervision and consultation (both the giving and receiving of it). It explores what is possible and preferable at different stages of development when using the IFS model.
