Internal Family Systems Theory
Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes
Objectives
~ Define Internal Family Systems Theory
~ Identify when it is used
~ Explore guiding principles

Overview
~ IFS was developed in the 1990s by family therapist Richard Schwartz, Ph.D.,
~ It is based on the concept that an undamaged core Self is the essence of who you are, and identifies three different types of sub-personalities or “families” that reside within each person, in addition to the Self.
~ Wounded and suppressed parts called exiles (lost child)
~ Managers, that keep the exiled parts suppressed (enabler)
~ Firefighters, that distract the Self from the pain of exiled parts. (hero/mascot/scapegoat)
~ The Internal Family Systems Center for Self-Leadership conducts training programs
Basic Assumptions
~ The mind is subdivided into an indeterminate number of subpersonalities or parts.
~ Everyone has a Self which can lead the individual's internal system.
~ The non-extreme intention of each part (exile, manager and firefighter) is something positive for the individual.
~ There are no "bad" parts
~ The goal of therapy is not to eliminate parts but instead to help them find their non-extreme roles.
~ As we develop, our parts develop and form a complex system of interactions among themselves
~ When the system is reorganized, parts can change rapidly.
~ Changes in the internal system will affect changes in the external system and vice versa.

Summary
~ Every person has within them a Self, exile, firefighter and manager
~ Each of these parts has a survival function
~ One goal is helping parts communicate and not overwhelm each other is essential
~ Another goal is helping the Self get back into a position in which it can listen and discern feedback from the parts to determine the best course of action

I am so grateful for your slideshow. As a visual learner taking heads do not convey the relationships between managers firefighters and exiles as clearly as you have. ❤❤❤

This has been amazing and such brain opener to my-self CEO. I have been having an argument with the Manager, Firefighter and Exile for nearly 8 days straight now. Thank you, I will find the balance and listen to each of these persons. Send my warmest wishes and many Thanks. Xxx

I'm also finding this really useful. Thank you for uploading it to you tube. I'm a therapist/social worker in private practice in Michigan. I have been trained in IFS but your video really does help me conceptualize in addition to the formal training in a practical way so thank you again.

Hi there, I’m wondering if there is a way to get/download the PowerPoint? Do you get access to that through paying for the CEU? Or is there another way? Thanks.

21:30 is it correct to say that the Self is also non-judgemental and takes the time to listen to what all the parts have to say without dismissing any of them? The Self is genuinely interested in all the parts and they can feel it so dialogue flows better and solutions can be found more easily
