Are there problems with IFS in the treatments of dissociative disorders? Yes. Have the Cut/New York Magazine likely given a perpetrator of family based organised sexual abuse a platform to get ahead of the narrative? Also yes. Disappointing article for those trying to fight against CSA.
A growing number of psychiatrists and psychologists are emerging with urgent warnings about a therapy known as Internal Family Systems, casting it as a simplistic allegory, and, at the worst, a dangerous pseudoscience.
The Truth About IFS, the Therapy That Can Break You
Internal Family Systems is a widely popular trauma treatment. Some patients say it’s destroyed their lives.

For three years, I tried to navigate a system where sex crimes have been effectively decriminalised
A new report found “the justice system is failing to meet the twin goals of access to justice and accountability”. So where are the groundbreaking reforms?

‘Rape is effectively decriminalised’: how did sexual assault become so easy to get away with?
Few alleged offenders are found guilty. Many victims are retraumatised. What is getting in the way of the Australian criminal courts providing justice to sexual assault survivors?
