Description:
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a “non-pathologizing” psychological model founded by Richard Schwartz, PhD, and developed collaboratively over the past 40 years. Recently Richard has been speaking more openly about the “spirituality” of IFS: aspects of the model that have arisen out of clinical observation and experimentation but which go beyond the “evidence-base” of modern Western medical and mental health models. These aspects include evolving theory and protocols for working with various non-physical or “spirit” beings, named and described in many different ways in different languages (e.g. angels, ghosts, spirits of nature, to name a few in English). According to IFS, non-physical beings can be of conscious or unconscious, helpful or harmful influence, acting from either “outside” or “inside” the human psyche, which is seen as naturally porous. IFS’s approach to working with non-physical beings has learned and “borrowed” from cultural and religious practices.
Encounters and relationships with non-physical/ “spirit” beings can hold deep meaning & significance for many of the people served by CASC/ACSS members - as they may for us as practitioners. In modern Western contexts, such experiences are often viewed or dismissed as purely subjective. They may be made taboo or be pathologized.
