Richard C. Schwartz (born 14 September 1949),[1] is an American systemic family therapist, academic, author, and creator of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) branch of therapy.[2][3] He developed his foundational work with IFS in the 1980s[4] after noticing that his clients were made up of many different pieces of "parts" of their "Self."[5][6] He teaches that, "Our inner parts contain valuable qualities and our core Self knows how to heal, allowing us to become integrated and whole. In IFS all parts are welcome."[7]
Career
[edit]Schwartz earned his Ph.D. in marriage and family therapy. He has taught at several institutions, including the Institute for Juvenile Research at the University of Illinois at Chicago [8][9] and Northwestern University as well as Harvard Medical School.[4][3][6]
He is the founder of the Center for Self Leadership in 2000, but in 2019, the organization changed its name to the IFS Institute.[10]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
