Description
Summary:	In this book, leading theorists and therapists from constructivist, narrative, and social constructionist traditions describe alternatives to psychiatric diagnoses that humanize the assessment process and allow for problem-dissolving therapeutic change. Case studies, clinical vignettes, and therapeutic dialogue anchor these meaning-making perspectives in the concrete reality of day-to-day practice, hence bridging the gap between theory and therapy.
