Rich in clinical case studies, this book offers a fresh perspective on the role of shame and guilt in psychological distress and presents a step-by-step framework for treatment.
Martha Sweezy explains how the principles of IFS therapy are ideally suited to helping trauma survivors and other clients suffering from debilitating shame understand and heal the psychological wounds they sustained in childhood.
The annotated case study demonstrates the IFS technique in action.
Other useful features include text-based therapy exercises, decision trees, and pointers to help therapists avoid or overcome common pitfalls.
