ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on concepts discussed in this book. The book introduces some constructionist-phenomenological concepts to the cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) practitioner. The constructionist-phenomenological method and CBT share the aim of describing and contextualizing behavior. The constructionist attitude means according attention and sensitivity to positioning and description. The constructionist clinician embarking on research, personalistic statistics seem more appropriate than traditional hypothetico-deductive methods of significance testing. The possibilistic model makes the influence of the margins of consciousness, a frequent influence on cognitive orientations in clinical work, more comprehensible. It locates possibility in perception and views sense of reality as a distribution extending from maximal to minimal consciousness. Immersion in possibility allows the person to be in two senses of reality at the same time. The person is absorbed in one maximal sense of reality but may change sense voluntarily in conscious absences and daydreams through everyday transcendence and aesthetic transport.
