DescriptionThe Trauma Center is proud to present its Sixth Annual Summer Training Institute! This intense program, led by Senior Faculty from the Justice Resource Institute’s Trauma Center, delves into the complexities of trauma adaption, cutting-edge therapies, and integrative methods to healing for injured children and adults.
Dr. Richard Schwartz, originator of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, will explain the progress of his work over the past four decades in this never-before-offered session. Beginning with his training and practice as a family systems therapist and clinical supervisor, he will discuss how this work influenced the development of IFS, a hopeful and non-pathologizing model used initially to assist clients in integrating fragmented self-states and conflicted “parts” or subpersonalities, and eventually to treat highly dissociative adults with histories of complex childhood trauma. He will highlight insights learnt from extensive IFS practice, training, and consultation that have come to inform a greater awareness of the problems posed within and effective therapeutic approaches to couples and family therapy. Dr. Schwartz will present a film of couples counseling that uses the IFS approach.
Dr. Schwartz will collaborate with members of the Trauma Drama ensemble to present a live enactment and unscripted, real-time intervention reaction to a family therapy trauma case using the IFS paradigm for the first time in his career. Dr. Schwartz and participants will engage in an interactive conversation about his conception of this case and clinical decision-making about choice points and particular implementations of the IFS model illustrated in the live presentation.

The Self-Leadership CenterRichard Schwartz, Ph.D., received his Ph.D. in marriage and family therapy from Purdue University, after which he began a long association with the Institute for Juvenile Research at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and more recently with The Family Institute at Northwestern University, where he was appointed associate professor. He co-wrote Family Therapy: Concepts and Methods with Michael Nichols, the most frequently used family therapy text in the United States.
Dr. Schwartz created Internal Family Systems in response to clients’ statements of feeling various elements of oneself, many of which were intense. He discovered that when these parts felt comfortable and their worries were addressed, they were less disruptive and willing to follow the wise guidance of what Dr. Schwartz came to refer to as the “Self.” In establishing IFS, he noted that, like in systemic family theory, components take on distinct functions that help shape the clients’ inner world. The coordinating Self, who possesses virtues like as confidence, openness, and compassion, serves as a focal point for the many parts to congregate. Because IFS identifies the root of the client’s healing, the therapist is free to focus on directing the client’s connection to his or her actual Self and assisting the client in utilizing its knowledge. This technique transforms IFS into a non-pathologizing, positive paradigm for psychotherapy. It offers an alternate view of psychic functioning and healing, allowing for novel approaches to treating clients’ symptoms and suffering.
Richard Schwartz established The Center for Self Leadership in Oak Park, Illinois, in 2000. Dr. Schwartz has been a featured speaker for numerous national psychotherapy groups, and he is a fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, as well as serving on the editorial boards of four professional publications.
