M.Litt. et Phil. / The shift from a modern to a postmodern culture that is still in the process, brings a new understanding of self and world. This understanding requires a reevaluation of the theory and practice of psychology. The challenges posed by postmodernism are explicated. Postmodernism serves as a epistemological background for the discussion of social 'constructionism. A narrative perspective in psychotherapy stresses the role of language, meaning and story. Social constructionst research is practically illustrated by way of including different stories, different conversations regarding a therapeutic meeting. In conclusion the implications and meanings of research and psychotherapy from a social constructionist perspective are explored.
