Book Review:


No bad parts by richard c. Schwartz  is a book about internal family systems or ifs that is a type of therapy model that has been gaining a lot of traction over the previous few decades um it's it's really big right now 

In the psychology and therapy and counseling world but for me personally I just want to let you know my background just a little bit with it which is I have very little background at all I'm not a therapist or a counselor 

I know some of it or I knew even before I read this book some of the theoretical underpinnings of the model but not a lot I didn't understand it very well at all so I was really interested to read more to hear more about it to learn about it 

I was excited for it this book is written not from like a clinical level it's not meant to help like therapists how to learn how to to do their therapy better although it could be used for that really 

It's designed to be used for a layperson for someone who's just looking for help in their own personal life how do I understand myself better using ifs internal family systems as a model for doing that and in this review 

I'll be going through some of my favorite parts of the book and then I'll go through a couple things I didn't like so much about the book I'll finish up with my recommendation for the book now specifically 

I won't be critiquing the model and I want to make sure I'm really clear about that I'm really critiquing the book here because I'm not a counselor I'm not an expert in psychology counseling therapy I'm not in that world at all I don't think I should be really critiquing the model but I do want to 

Let you know what the book what's good about the book what's not good about the book and what my recommendation for it is one of the first things that I think is done really really well in the book is uh richard schwartz does a great job of using a warm 

Kind of inviting tone which you would think would be more common from clinicians from people who are used to talking to people and making them wanting to feel you know invited and welcomed in 

But it's actually kind of rare in these types of books so often they read like textbooks and I think in this book dr schwartz did a great job of of really yeah doing that of actually giving us warm inviting readable text 

So I commend him for that I think he did a really good job another thing I think that dr schwartz did a good job of in this book is giving us a good understanding of the model without getting too complex and getting in you know getting into the thick of it too much 

So he explains it well from kind of that 90 000 foot view he teaches us you know what is this what is this model all about um right at the beginning so that way you kind of get into it instead of trying to figure it out throughout the book if that kind of makes sense 

So I think he did a really good job of summarizing what is ifs that way even a lay person can understand it really easily one of my favorite parts of the book one that I think were most helpful were some of the transcripts from his therapy sessions these are him talking to clients and and kind of working out with them like this is how this would look 

If I was talking to a client and this is kind of the way you can talk to yourself as well so yeah I really like the transcripts in the book I think those were one of the parts that I enjoyed the most the other thing I noticed was almost every chapter had like practical takeaways and exercises that you can practice with yourself 

So you can basically start to learn yourself better and use some of the the exercises the key exercises that are part of ifs and kind of apply them to your life so those practical takeaways were really really good 

I think and then I just think overall the text was really accessible I think like I said mentioned before some of these um kind of self-help psychology books sometimes they they're either too technical and it's like 

Ah man I don't I have no idea what you're even saying or they're like too kind of blase and it's like oh yeah do whatever you want and this one I think stuck well to what I understand ifs is and this is the creator of ifs writing the book 

So I think he does too so it wasn't too blase but it also wasn't too scientific kind of textbooky type situation so I think he did a good job of making it accessible for anyone to kind of read the text lastly 

I really love any book that helps people to self-reflect I think that's something that's missing from our culture is taking the time to really just sit down and say who am I who am I really and this can be done in a lot of different ways 

But this is one way to start looking at some of the things in your past who you are now some of these different parts of who we are and if and if parts is the right way to think about it that's helpful for you that's great 

So that's you know it's really good for people to start looking at themselves and saying who am I like who am I really not just who do I think I am but when I dig in who am I a couple things I didn't like about this book 

They're both they're really closely related one of them is is the repetitive nature of some aspects of the book I feel like like I said at the beginning he summarized ifs really well and I feel like I got it 

Then sometimes it was like oh you're doing it again and again and there's kind of some repetition in the book which can be really helpful if you're first introduced to this model to ifs and you've never heard of it before 

But if you grab it pretty quickly maybe it just felt repetitive to me a little bit and I think that added to the length of the book as well I felt like you know it was probably 75 pages too long or maybe that's two 

I don't know I just thought it was a little bit too long that's kind of the second piece so a little repetitive a little bit long overall uh though a really good book 

I think this is a book that anyone who's using ifs should definitely read if you are a clinician and you are using internal family systems this is a no-brainer pick this one up you can use it as a reference material 

You'll get some ideas out of it how to how to approach clients and things like that it probably won't have anything new information wise for you but it just makes sense it's good even for a refresher 

If you're someone who has never been to counseling before you're worried about the cost of it you want to get into it or maybe you know your counselor uses ifs this could be a good way to kind of get some of the cursory understanding of what it is your counselor or therapist will be using 

If you're not going to go to counseling or therapy you're like I don't like that psycho mumbo jumbo or whatever this could be a good introductory piece to kind of help you get familiar with just yourself actually and so 

I think this is a good book if you want to start kind of looking into who am I and what are some of the parts that I've maybe ignored or thought of as bad in the past 

But actually there were parts of me that were maybe protecting myself from trauma or I don't know whatever there's the theory itself is interesting and I think it could be helpful for a lot of people so this has been my review of no bad parts by richard schwartz.
