Description
Internal Family Systems Therapy is a growing therapeutic modality that has demonstrated itself to be capable of providing significant therapeutic outcomes through a multitude of unique applications. While the central tenants of IFS contend that individuals have parts within themselves that can be categorized in to exiled, managerial, and firefighter parts; there is not a standardized categorization of the presentation of these parts beyond their namesake. This qualitative analysis proposes to assess the accounts of 50 individuals who received the IFS intervention of in-sight that focused on the exploration of the nature of a particular part. Transcripts of these accounts will be randomly assigned to a group of certified IFS therapists, who created three possible subcategories of the part presented. We predict that results of assessment will show that managers and firefighters can be subcategorized into three to five groups, while exiles cannot be subcategorized.
