Keywords: postmodernism; psychotherapy; dialogue; narration
Summary/Abstract: Postmodernism negates the universality of values, thus emphasizing the role political power in creating truth. This creates a challenge for psychotherapy, in which the customer's perspective should be both recognized and inscribed into the theoretical framework of a given modality. In this chapter, the author undertakes reflections on the concepts of truth and falsehood in psychotherapy, presenting the theory of the dialogic self as a psychotherapeutic approach responding to this challenge. Comparing them to the dominant cognitive-behavioral approach, presents examples of practical areas of its application, in particular, problems related to the sense of identity and its continuity and the advantages and limitations of the therapeutic work metaphor as dialogue and narrative.
