IFS therapy has been accepted as an evidence-based practice in the US and is listed on the federal NREPP (National Registry for Evidence-based Programs and Practices) website, NREPP.SAMHSA.gov. As a clinical treatment, the site rates IFS as effective for improving general functioning and well-being. It’s also been rated as promising for improving: physical health conditions and symptoms; phobia, panic and generalized anxiety disorders and symptoms; personal resilience; and depression.
The listing of IFS on NREPP – and the research that led to that listing – affirm the huge potential of IFS therapy for advancing emotional healing and mental well-being.
