Constructing Realities.

So, I have stumbled upon a book labeled "Constructing Realities: Meaning Making Perspectives in Psychotherapies." It is a book on constructivistic approaches to psychotherapy, and so needless to say I bought it for 5 dollars on Amazon. Thinking about the role constructivism would have in a psychotherapy confuses me a bit, so I am looking forward to learning about it. Many concepts in psychoanalysis can be claimed to be constructed after all, such as normalcy, deviancy, and some even argue mental illness. To see an approach that accepts that reality is constructed by the individual holds many interesting ideas to the psychotherapist, whose function is to try and understand the person and how they function in their reality. I am really excited to see what this book discusses.
