bought it for Anderson & Goolishian

I bought this book because I had an article from it in my MA program in psychology. Anderson & Goolishian's article on the Not-Knowing therapist should be read by anyone who is a therapis, LCSW, psychiatrist, in managed health care, "behavioral science", LCPC, etc. The book also looks at other articles about narrative therapies and post modern thinking. This is a great book for anyone who wants to bring psychology and the practice of helping into the new millenium. It was written in 1992 and so many people have no idea about social construction. They are ahead of their time!
