The internal family systems model has seen a lot of discussion in various rationalist and rationalist-adjaecent places, but:
a) usually among people who were already familiar with it,
b) usually with a vague disclaimer of being a fake-framework, without delving into the details of where the limits of the framework lay or how to contextualize it in a broader reductionist worldview.
I think it’s been a long-time coming for someone to write up a comprehensive case for why the model is worth taking seriously, placing it in terms that can be concretely reasoned about, built off of and/or falsified.
