Christ-Centered Therapy: Empowering the Self brings together Christian faith with the Internal Family System (IFS) model. This powerful therapeutic model posits a self surrounded by subpersonalities who carry anger, fear, distrust, and other negative responses. This book provides exercises and visual aids to help both client and counselor, including worksheets, a "parts map" for client and counselor to use collaboratively, case studies, and a clinical outline listing the interventions in sequence. Christ-Centered Therapy: Empowering the Self is essential for Christian counselors and for non-Christian counselors who are seeking more effective ways to treat Christian clients.
