Studies In Meaning 2: Bridging the Personal and Social in Constructivist Psychology
Edited by Jonathan D. Raskin and Sara K. Bridges

This book marks an attempt to “bridge the gap” between personal and social perspectives within constructivism. The chapters within stress the emerging integration of personal and social aspects of therapy, research, and theory development. As a result, this volume continues an already vibrant scholarly dialogue about personal and social perspectives within constructivist psychology.  With contributions from many noted writers, including:  Franz Epting, Gabriele Chiari, Laura Nuzzo, Jay Efran, Stephanie Lewis Harter, Spencer McWilliams, Kenneth Sewell, Richard Watts, and Robert Neimeyer.
