Publisher's Synopsis
This volume represents an important new direction for the professions involved in the application of psychological science. Its 23 distinguished contributors deconstruct the fundamental assumptions of the psychological professions and offer a constructivist alternative. Cutting across the traditional areas of specialization - the only book in the field to do so - it applies constructivist thinking to the whole broad range of professional counselling activities, including practice, research, supervision and training.;Contributors include: M.
