Development of the internal family systems model: Honoring contributions from family systems therapies
We describe Richard Schwartz's development of the Internal Family Systems model (IFS) from his position as a Structural/Strategic family therapist. Four decades ago, Schwartz struggled to help clients who exhibited serious risk of harm to self and others. Through a process of inquiry, he began to work with the positive intentions behind his most challenging clients' harmful thoughts and behaviors. He applied foundational ideas from family systems…
Are the Arts Essential?
A timely and kaleidoscopic reflection on the importance of the arts in our society In the midst of a devastating pandemic, as theaters, art galleries and museums, dance stages and concert halls shuttered their doors indefinitely and institutional funding for entertainment and culture evaporated almost overnight, a cohort of highly acclaimed scholars, artists, cultural critics, and a journalist sat down to ponder an urgent question: Are the arts e…

From Stuck Debate to New Conversation on Controversial Issues: A Report from the Public Conversations Project
Some public controversies, such as the abortion debate, have become so chronically polarized that most citizens cannot even think about them without falling into the adversarial discourse of the embattled movement leaders. The authors, who comprise the Public Conversations Project, use family systems ideas to design and conduct dialogue sessions where people with opposing views resist the pull of polarization and instead speak from the heart abou…
The education of young artists and the issue of audience
Within the dominator system, art has been organized around the primacy of objects rather than relationships, and has been set apart from reciprocal or participative interactions. (Gablik, 1991: 62)
A phenomenology of friendship families
From Tantrums to Prayer: "Goat Island's "Can't Take Johnny to the Funeral
Although it is not billed as such, Goat Island's most recent collaborative work,1 appears to be the completion of a trilogy that began with Soldier, Child, Tortured Man (1987). It deals not only with the humiliations, fears, longings-the dark side of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood-but with the extreme vulnerability of infancy. This earliest condition, over which we have no control, profoundly shapes the individual psyche. A squared circle …
"Goat Island's "We Got A Date
Goat Island works collectively, collaboratively-slowly over time, paring down essence of piece like salt in a crucible (as D.H. Lawrence said of stories of Edgar Allen Poe [195I]). In their most recent work tech is modest, music haunting. The movement is original, excruciatingly painful, purposefully repetitive. The narrative is rich in psychological and social complexity. I took eight friends to 1989 Chicago premiere of We Got A Datethree painte…
