MODULE 1: The Essentials of IFS with Dr. Frank Anderson
Join IFS and trauma expert Frank Anderson, MD, and learn all that this therapy model can do for you and your clients. In this practical and experiential training, you’ll gain a foundational understanding of IFS — including its core methodology, neuroscience roots, and clinical application — so you can discover its full potential for permanent healing.
This module includes:
IFS Overview
In this session, Frank will offer a step-by-step breakdown of the IFS model and teach you how it applies to your clients. Learn the roles of emotions, pain and trauma within a person and begin to understand common client reactions such as substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, obsessing, conflict avoidance, bingeing, cutting, and more. Discover how to identify the “core self” within the client that holds the capacity to lasting healing.
Gain access to internal healing resources
Through in-session video demonstrations and practical instruction, Frank will teach you how to assess your clients diagnoses and symptoms (such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders) through the lens of the IFS methodology. Learn to establish therapeutic goals, and access proven processes for working with the various “parts” within your client.
In-depth overview of why IFS works
In this session, you’ll discover the science behind the IFS model, including the research and evidence that showcase IFS’s unique ability to permanently heal both the brain and body.
The Process to Permanent Healing
In this last session, Frank will guide you through a transformative five-step process toward permanent healing, including how to overcome abuse, trauma, and other clinical issues. He’ll also arm you with a post-healing process for use in future sessions and to teach your client for at-home use. Finally, through a moving in-session video demonstration, you’ll see in action how to change your client’s emotional memory so your clients can leave with the feeling of lasting healing.
MODULE 2: Internal Family Systems Step-by-Step with Dr. Richard Schwartz
See IFS in action, directly with the creator of the therapy model, Richard Schwartz, PhD. Observe a dramatic and moving clinical session between Richard and Jody, a woman who’s been haunted by early childhood trauma her whole life. Watch as Richard guides Jody step-by-step through a journey that enables her to fully embrace her capacity for personal transformation. Then hear from Richard directly as he explains the moment-by-moment decisions that guided Jody to the single-session, breakthrough healing.
This module includes:
Introduction to IFS
Learn how IFS therapy can maximize clients’ potential for self-healing and self-compassion. A key to accomplishing this is recognizing the difference between inner parts and Self, and elevating the Self to an effective leadership position.
From Emotion to Integration: Clinical Demonstration and Commentary I
Watch Dr. Schwartz in-session as he implements his IFS approach with his client Jody who’s been stuck for years and has lost hope. This session combines clinical video with lively commentary.
From Emotion to Integration: Clinical Demonstration and Commentary II
The clinical video and commentary continues in this session, concluding with a dramatic client transformation as Jody moves from chronic fear and anxiety to healing and joy.
Richard Schwartz Answers Therapist Questions about IFS
Listen to the Q&A call recording with Richard Schwartz and Psychotherapy Networker editor Rich Simon. This session answers attendees’ specific questions about how the IFS model can be integrated into clinical practice.
The Myth of Unitary Self: A Dialogue on the Multiplicity of Mind
with Richard Schwartz, PhD and Daniel Siegel, MD
Neuroscience, social psychology, and artificial intelligence all agree that each of us consists of a multiplicity of identities that account for the richness and complexity of the human experience. At the same time, there’s more than one way to use this knowledge to elicit therapeutic healing, self-awareness, and growth. This video will showcase how two noted psychotherapists bring the concept of multiplicity into their therapeutic work.
IFS for Complex Trauma
with Richard Schwartz, PhD
Watch an extraordinary clinical video illustrating how IFS can help a client affected by complex trauma. You’ll learn how to connect clients with the calm, compassionate core Self that’s the source of inner leadership, as well as understanding how to avoid becoming the primary attachment figure and instead, open the way for the client’s own Self to emerge.
IFS In-Session: Getting Permission from the Part
with Frank Anderson, MD
In this short clip, Frank demonstrates the process of working with a resistant part and requesting permission to access the client’s core self. This video, taken directly from a session with one of Frank’s own clients, is an invaluable resource to reference again and again as you implement IFS in your practice.
IFS In-Session: Working with an Anxious Part
with Frank Anderson, MD

Dr. Richard (Dick) Schwartz developed Internal Family Systems in response to clients’ descriptions of experiencing various parts – many extreme – within 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.” In developing IFS, he recognized that, as in systemic family theory, parts take on characteristic roles that help define the inner world of the clients. The coordinating Self, which embodies qualities of confidence, openness, and compassion, acts as a center around which the various parts constellate. 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. This approach makes IFS a non-pathologizing, hopeful framework within which to practice psychotherapy. It provides an alternative understanding of psychic functioning and healing that allows for innovative techniques in relieving clients symptoms and suffering.
In 2000, Richard Schwartz founded The Center for Self Leadership in Oak Park, Illinois. Dr. Schwartz is a featured speaker for many national psychotherapy organizations and a fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, and he serves on the editorial boards of four professional journals. He has published four books and over 50 articles about IFS. His books include Internal Family Systems Skills Training Manual (with Frank Anderson, M.D. and Martha Sweezy, Ph.D.), Internal Family Systems Therapy, Introduction to the Internal Family Systems Model, and The Mosaic Mind (with Regina Goulding), as well as Metaframeworks (with Doug Breunlin and Betty Karrer). Dr. Schwartz lives and practices in Brookline, MA and is on the faculty of the Department of Psychiatry, Harvard School of Medicine.
