"In this training video, Richard Schwartz demonstrates Internal Family Systems Therapy in an actual couples therapy session. Schwartz's approach helps individuals gain a sense of self-leadership over the parts of themselves that they are struggling with. Schwartz helps Loren and Kathy examine the parts of themselves that are causing problems in their marriage. Kathy gets in touch with her fear of Loren "wandering" by naming, talking to, and comforting the little-girl part of herself. Loren is visibly moved by watching Kathy's exploration, gains a deeper understanding of her vulnerability, and agrees to work on his own fearful part that has an impulse to "wander." You will learn how to help couples identify their own constraining and problematic sub-personalities and gain self-leadership over them; gain an understanding of the self as a whole, along with different types of sub-personalities, including exiled parts, "managers," and "firefighters"; and develop new couples therapy strategies that integrate deep individual exploration with systems approaches. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions."
