Postmodernism
• Since the founding of the classic schools of family therapy, there has occurred a shift in emphasis.
• The postmodern or constructivist position assumes that there is no objective reality.
• Our reality is but one of many shaped by our use of language.
• One consequence has been to make therapists humbler in dealing with families.

Solution-Focused TherapyBasic Concepts
• This popular model has its roots in the strategic approaches.
• Assumes that people become constrained by narrow, pessimistic views of their problems.
• Therapists get clients to concentrate on solutions to problems that have worked.

Solution-Focused Therapy:
Therapeutic Techniques• Formula first session task–
asks the client to identify what happens in their life that they want to continue.
• The miracle question–helps clients look beyond the problem & toward a goal.
• Scaling questions–”On a scale of 1 to 10, how depressed do you feel right now?”

Narrative Therapy:Basic Concepts
• Concern is with the way people construct meaning rather than the way they behave.
• Personal experience is fundamentally ambiguous and shaped by the words used to describe it.
• Our explanations of our experiences are our stories and we organize life by them.

Narrative Therapy:Therapeutic Techniques
• The goal of therapy is to transform clients’ stories and alter their identities.
• This is done by separating people from their problems.
• Exceptions to the prevailing problem narrative are highlighted.
• The centerpiece of therapy is questioning.
