Dr. Paul LaChance Horizons and Integrations: Philosophical Reflections on Psychological Multiplicity Annual Lecture 2026 Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, PhD Thurs April 9, 2026 7:00pm – 9:00pm This lecture will be delivered in English REGISTRATION REQUIRED for on-line participation Internal Family Systems (IFS) is one of today’s fastest-growing approaches in psychotherapy, used from complex trauma treatment to spiritual direction. Its everyday, story-based language makes it easy to teach—and easy to use as self-help. However, the metaphor-heavy style of IFS might also invite vague speculation and may possibly cause harm when therapist and client don’t share clearly defined meanings. This lecture grounds IFS in Fr. Bernard Lonergan’s analysis of interiority, drawing on earlier psychoanalysis and Husserlian genetic phenomenology to clarify inner multiplicity (“parts”) and the dynamics of healing and integration, and reframes multiplicity as local horizons and integration as emergent probability, with observations drawn from clinical practice.
