Postmodern Collaborative Therapy

|
Postmodern Collaborative Therapy often referred to as 'collaborative language systems' is one of three talking therapies, along with Solution focused brief therapy and Narrative Therapy, that is based upon social constructionist philosophy. It is a Family Therapy method that was developed at the Houston Galeston Institute by Harlene Anderson and Harry Goolishian. As a conversational therapy it focuses on what clients want to co-construct through a dialogical conversation with the therapist. The approach does not focus on the therapist expertise, but instead, focuses on the conversational patnership between client and therapist. The therapist/counselor uses respectful curiosity to invite the client to envision their preferred story together. To support this, dialogical conversations arise through a process of the therapist not having a monopoly on the truth, making their thoughts visible, creating a space for a collaborative partnership, and reaching mutually created outcomes.
