Abstract

Multiple models of therapy are available in the mental health profession to help couples cope with the psychological and interpersonal difficulties associated with marriage. Internal Family Systems (IFS) is one such theoretical paradigm that juxtaposes concepts of healing broken attachments and counseling premarital couples within a preventative context to bolster marital satisfaction. IFS therapy is an approach that treats couples, partners, and intimates by exposing vulnerable emotions between individuals and providing a dynamic method of communicating interpersonal wounds with the ultimate therapeutic goal of reparation. Marriage and family therapists are uniquely positioned to assist couples in the inherent struggles associated with matrimony by using IFS therapy. This article explores the application of IFS therapy to individuals by providing a case study to highlight its impact on repairing a conflictual marriage.
