“…Cognitive behavioural therapies appear sound on face value; however most of the research suggests that these approaches at best may only create marginal results with ADD children (Abikoff cited in Yelich & Salamone, 1994). My hypothesis is that the reason this treatment is ineffective is not due to the method but rather the individual focus and the resulting sense of blame these children may experience.…”

Postmodern approaches to counseling are being used widely and creatively in counseling practice, training, and supervision. This is exemplified by the fact that inJuly 1997 at the Twelfth International Personal Construct Psychology Congress more than 150 counselors, college teachers, and researchers from more than 15 countries assembled to present and discuss contemporary applications of constructivism. Papers were delivered on diverse topics that included couple's constructivist therapy, treating chronic depression, identity formation, assessment of change in counseling, and constructivist supervision. Constructivism reflects a movement from modernism to a postmodern epistemology signaling a paradigm shift for counseling. This change coincides with an erosion in the trust of universal and scientific foundations of objective knowledge and an increasing acceptance of the multiplicity of human perspectives.Sexton (1 997) suggested that this paradigm change stems from a disenchantment with (a) contemporary theories of causation, (b) the validity of epistemological (i.e., theories of knowledge and knowing) beliefs, and (c) ontological (i.e., nature of reality) assumptions central to the scientific method. Constructivism uses concepts of second-order (i.e., core or structural) change and rejects modernist and rationalist assumptions regarding what makes counseling effective (Lyddon, 1990 66JOURNAL OF COUECE COUNSELING / SPRING 1999 / VOL. 2 approaches, narrative, solutions-focused, and other post-modern counseling strategies share the basic premise that humans actively create their own particular reality (Hayes. 1994). This article describes how college students' problems and issues can be conceptualized and counseling approaches crafted from a constructivist perspective that both activates client resources to create more useful personal constructs and works to develop new solutions to client problems. Traditional aged (i.e.. 18-22 years old) college students respond well to counseling that is interactional and collaborative. Young adults who are struggling to achieve their own autonomy especially value a counseling strategy that emphasizes joining with clients, developing a therapeutic alliance, and using client resources to cocreate more useful personal constructs and solutions. College counselors can facilitate student development as part of the process of self-construction that accompanies students' struggles to understand the self and find meaning in life (Hayes, 1994). Both constructivism and student development theory evoke a worldview that honors differences, values equality among individuals, recognizes the influence of social context on lives, and emphasizes the conditions that enhance mental and emotional growth (McAuliffe, 1997).
