Ph.D., developed the Internal Family Systems (IFS) in response to
clients' descriptions of experiencing various partsmany
extremewithin themselves. He noticed that when these parts felt
safe and had their concerns addressed, they were less disruptive
and would accede to the wise leadership of what Dr. Schwartz came
to call the "Self." Because IFS locates the source of healing
within the client, the therapist is freed to focus on guiding the
client's access to his or her true Self and supporting the client
in harnessing its wisdom.
