What is it about?

This is a groundbreaking work, providing a clear and concise summary of social constructivism philosophy and then applying it to decision making in counseling and psychotherapy. It offers a theoretically and philosophically unique approach to decision making, which is describes as occurring not in the head, but in the social matrix that is engaged through the decision process. It provides a look at a purely theoretical model of decision making and is the first work to apply social constructivism philosophy formally to the decision making process.
