An interesting collection of the state of the art of social constructionism and therapy, and a major contribution to reflection on therapeutic theory and practice′ - Changes The chapters are interesting as windows into wider debates beyond therapy to those within the human sciences over the organization of meaning and change in culture... the value of this book is that it makes it possible for the reader to step back and think that therapy may mean different things to different communities, that therapy is not the touchstone but only one of many social constructions′ - British Psychological Society Counselling Psychology Review
I bought this book because I had an article from it in my MA program in psychology. Anderson & Goolishian's article on the Not-Knowing therapist should be read by anyone who is a therapis, LCSW, psychiatrist, in managed health care, "behavioral science", LCPC, etc. The book also looks at other articles about narrative therapies and post modern thinking. This is a great book for anyone who wants to bring psychology and the practice of helping into the new millenium. It was written in 1992 and so many people have no idea about social construction. They are ahead of their time!
