Internal Family Systems Therapy with Children details the application of IFS in child psychotherapy. The weaving together of theory, step-by-step instruction, and case material gives child therapists a clear roadmap for understanding and utilizing the healing power of this modality. In addition, any IFS therapist will deepen their understanding of the theory and practice of Internal Family Systems by reading how it is practiced with children. This book also covers the use of IFS in parent guidance, an important aspect of any therapeutic work with families or adult individuals with children. The poignant and humorous vignettes of children’s therapy along with their IFS artwork make it an enjoyable and informative read.

Thank you once again Lisa for helping as much kids as possible so they can have a new opportunity and new beginning in there life before the internal world family gets overcrowded for them when they are adults.

Reading it is like being immersed in great supervision. The reader will learn how to help children recognize and externalize their troubling symptoms and understand them as important "parts" of their inner systems rather than pathological defects. With the help of Spiegel's compassion, humor and acceptance these children learn to view their behaviors and feelings with a kinder and more self loving lens, and so to heal and transform.
In its authenticity, simplicity and eloquence this book will inspire child therapists to study and start using IFS with their clients.
Kudos and gratitude to Lisa Spiegel for this important contribution.
