The constructivist theories of psychology in this book examine the ways in which people create meaningful understandings of the world and use them to guide themselves through life.

The chapters in this book--which attempts to "bridge the gap" between personal and social perspectives in constructivist psychology--stress the emerging integration of personal and social aspects of therapy, research, and theory development.

Constructivist psychology is presented as it relates to everyday practice. The chapters succinctly and cogently explicate basic theoretical concepts and then demonstrate them with vivid case examples.

This volume addresses cutting-edge issues in constructivist psychology dealing with theory, practice, and social justice. The volume begins by delving into thorny issues of meaning and communication from both radical constructivist and social constructionist perspectives.
