Thirty-five international academics and practitioners contribute 15 chapters on postmodern thinking and ways of being with clients, in particular the use of conversation as a central resource and medium of therapeutic helping. The essays explore ways in which the postmodern differs from other movements, how it makes a difference to personal consultants and how they are with clients, how it affects clients and the conversations they have, and how these ideas move the conversation within the field forward or in different directions. For practitioners and graduate students. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
