Do you (or does the course) take a position on how literally to take the idea of distinct inner parts? What Is Going On In IFS? - by Scott Alexander (astralcodexten.com) talks a bit about belief in literal demons that can inhabit people.
As a metaphor and useful model of internal conflicts and hidden goals, it makes perfect sense to me. As a literal description, it seems nuts.

Why does the form still seem open today? Couldn't that be harmful or wasting quite a chunk of time of people?
