Richard D. Schwartz

Richard D. Schwartz is a psychologist and researcher known for developing the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, a therapeutic approach that views the mind as made up of different parts or sub-personalities. These parts often hold distinct emotions, beliefs, and roles, and can sometimes conflict with each other. Schwartz’s approach helps individuals identify, understand, and integrate their parts to achieve greater balance, self-awareness, and healing. His work is widely used in mental health treatment, offering a compassionate framework for addressing complex emotional issues and fostering internal harmony.
