  Richard C. Schwartz, Ph.D.

  The Founder of Internal Family Systems

  Dick Schwartz began his career as a family therapist and an academic at the University of Illinois at Chicago. There he discovered that family therapy alone did not achieve full symptom relief and in asking patients why, he learned that they were plagued by what they called “parts.” These patients became his teachers as they described how their parts formed networks of inner relationship that resembled the families he had been working with. He also found that as they focused on and, thereby, separated from their parts, they would shift into a state characterized by qualities like curiosity, calm, confidence and compassion. He called that inner essence the Self and was amazed to find it even in severely diagnosed and traumatized patients. From these explorations the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model was born in the early 1980s.

  IFS is now evidence-based and has become a widely-used form of psychotherapy, particularly with trauma. It provides a non-pathologizing, optimistic, and empowering perspective and a practical and effective set of techniques for working with individuals, couples, families, and more recently, corporations and classrooms.

  Dick lives with his wife Jeanne near Chicago, close to his three daughters and his growing number of grandchildren.

  Dr. Angela Mensah, PhD

  Joint Faculty in African and African American Studies, University of Arkansas

  Dr. Angela Denise Mensah, nee Prater, Ph.D. is a communication professor, a published author, and has spoken at national and international conferences. She is currently a Teaching Assistant Professor at the University of Arkansas as a joint faculty member of Communication and African and African American Studies. She is developing a service-learning project where the University of Arkansas students work with a community partner to teach body neutrality to youth participants.

  Dr. Mensah is a feminist critical theorist who believes that oppression is oppression and no one group of people is affected by it more or less than another. Because oppression is a human experience, we all must be reminded when we are being oppressed or being the oppressor (all humans experience both roles whether we like to admit it or not). Body image which includes but is not limited to Ability, Age, and Gender oppression are ways in which individuals still experience overt oppression in society.
  Dr. Mensah holds a Bachelor of Science in Television Production from Ferris State University; a Masters of Arts in Communication from Western Michigan University and a Doctorate of Philosophy [School of Communication Studies with a cognate in Media] from Bowling Green State University, 2008. She enjoys nature photography, and contemporary Christian music and loves hanging out with her black Labrador retriever, Hopper!

  Dr. Mensah has worked with several non-profits to raise awareness of body image and disordered eating including the National Eating Disorder Association, Mental Fitness, Inc. (formally Normal in Schools), Binge Eating Disorder Association, the Body Freedom Project, and now Body Equity Alliance. As an individual with lived experience, she believes that as children we absorb all the negative messages in society and have no defense against them unless there is an adult that intervenes in a positive way to help. She is committed to working with individuals to work toward a healthy body image toward the self and others to create a better society. She worked in community colleges, research universities, and the non-profit sector to reach a wider group of people that are on the margins fighting to make a better life for themselves and their families.

Driven by her own struggles and recovery, she founded the Binge Eating Disorder Association (BEDA) to address the unmet needs of people with the most prevalent eating disorder. After 10 years of pioneering work, BEDA merged with the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) in 2018 after noteworthy milestones that included working to add binge eating disorder (BED) to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual’s 5th Edition (DSM-5), developing a national awareness week addressing weight stigma and intersecting oppressions, creating industry-leading educational programming, and public policy work at the state and national levels. More work in the healthcare arena, education around moving past social determinants of health to health equity, and a dedication to healthcare as a human right has prepared her to help clients make important shifts in their own work.
