ABSTRACT

Finally, of the triad of therapeutic practices outlined here, procedure is the most concrete. Whereas presence places the alert and responsive therapist fully in an intersubjective ®eld shared with the client, and attention to process characterizes their subtly shifting ongoing communication, concrete therapeutic procedures address speci®c goals and draw upon identi-®able change strategies. Here I will address some of the basic procedural parameters of constructivist therapy, and then illustrate some of its distinctive techniques for prompting therapeutic re¯ection and change.
