The Internal Family Systems Model Outline | IFS Institute

I. BASIC ASSUMPTIONS OF THE IFS MODEL

I. BASIC ASSUMPTIONS OF THE IFS MODEL It is the nature of the mind to be subdivided into an indeterminate number of subpersonalities or parts. Everyone has a Self, and the Self can and should lead the individual's internal system. The non-extreme intention of each part is something positive for the individual. There are no "bad" parts, and 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; therefore, systems theory can be applied to the internal system.
