In “No Bad Parts,” Richard Schwartz offers a comprehensive exploration of Internal Family Systems (IFS), a therapeutic approach grounded on the idea that individuals are made up of intricate networks of diverse “parts.” Similar to a family, our internal system can be supportive and loving, or toxic and destructive. He shares the theoretical foundations and fundamental principles of IFS, illustrating how this approach can help people get to know their parts and create coherence in the system so that they can live a more enriched and meaningful life.
