The Routledge International Handbook of Postmodern Therapies includes contributions by leading international experts to provide an invaluable resource and reference for therapy students, scholars, educators, and practitioners.Along with discussing key postmodern approaches, including collaborative-dialogic, narrative, solution focused, and open dialogue, the handbook features advances in theory, research, and applications of postmodern practice. It covers both critical perspectives and methodologies, such as narrative, poststructuralist, performative, and postqualitative. Considerations of issues of diversity, power, and privilege are infused throughout the handbook.This handbook is essential for practitioners and students interested in teaching, using, and researching postmodern practice, including counselors, clinical psychologists, family therapists, psychotherapists, and social workers.Chapter 28 and Chapter 38 of this book are freely available as downloadable Open Access PDFs at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial 4.0 license (CC-BY-NC).

This book addresses the premise that therapy can be understood, practiced, and researched as a discursive activity. This book will interest practitioners seeking to better understand therapy as a discursive process, and discourse analysts wanting to understand therapy as discursive therapists might practice it.
