Groundbreaking international bestseller to help you understand and challenge the destructive behaviours of your multifaceted mind.

Innovative and transformational - Gabor Mate
Changed my life - Rangan Chatterjee

The empowering new way to discover your multifaceted mind.

Do you long to break free from a stuck part of you - the inner critic, 'monkey mind', a bad habit, or an addiction? What if there was a way to approach those aspects of you, to free you from the constant inner struggle and find true healing?

In this groundbreaking international bestseller, Dr Richard Schwartz reveals that we are each born with an 'internal family' of distinct parts within us. Some of our parts can become trapped in destructive patterns, but learning to relate to each of them with curiosity, respect, and empathy can vastly expand our capacity to heal.

The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model will help you challenge the destructive behaviour of these parts, turn the ego, the inner critic, and the saboteur into powerful allies, and allow you to return to a more whole and harmonious 'Self'.
