“…The postmodern view of science created new interpretive challenges for a broad array of disciplines (Kruglanski, 2001; Kvale, 1992; Vollmer, 2000), but it has posed a particular problem for psychoanalysis. When coupled with the theory mismanagement difficulties described earlier, postmodernism set the stage for a wholesale co-opting of psychoanalytic ideas by researchers in other areas of psychology.…”

“…As a result, psychoanalysts committed seven "deadly sins" that exacerbated the theory's decline: insularity, inaccuracy, indifference, irrelevance, inefficiency, indeterminacy, and insolence (see Bornstein, 2001, for a detailed discussion of these psychoanalytic "sins"). 1 The Postmodern Reinvention and Co-Opting of Psychoanalysis A key tenet of postmodernism is that both internal and external reality are social constructions, reflecting (among other things) an individual's cultural background, expressive language, and past and present experience (Gergen, 1997;Vollmer, 2000). In the empirical setting, postmodernism has led to a resurgence of constructivist research (Kvale, 1992) and an emphasis on cultural relativism in intellectual discourse (Hermans, Kempen, & van Loon, 1992).…”

Although psychoanalysis was once central to mainstream psychology, in recent years psychodynamic models of personality and psychopathology have become increasingly marginalized. The factors that combined to "disconnect" psychoanalysis from contemporary psychological science and clinical practice are examined, and strategies that can help reconnect psychoanalysis to mainstream psychology are described. These are (a) the use of nomothetic research methods to test and refine psychoanalytic concepts and (b) the communication of psychoanalytic principles and findings to colleagues, students, and members of the public. Opportunities and challenges that arise during this reconnection process are discussed, and prospects for the rebirth of a truly heuristic, integrative psychoanalysis are considered.

“…Reading Walters' book, which has few direct ties to 1-0 psychology, made me reflect on some key issues relevant to 1-0 psychology. I do believe one thing that Walters has right is that contemporary psychology has focused on dimensions of personalities to the exclusion of personality theories that focus on the whole person (for further assertions see McAdams, 1997;Vollmer, 2000). Lifestyle theory brings the person back to personality theory by considering traits, stressors, and coping styles, not in isolation, but in conjunction with each other.…”

Yakın zamanda psikolojik danışma alanında post-modernist olarak nitelendirilen çeşitli danışma kuram ve yaklaşımları ortaya çıkmaya başlamıştır. Post-modern bu yaklaşımlardan birisi ise Öyküsel Terapi yaklaşımıdır. Öyküsel Terapi 1990 yılında White ve Epston isimli araştırmacıların sosyal yapılandırmacı ve postmodenizim kuramlarından etkilenilerek oluşturdukları, “Narrative Means to Therapeutic Ends” isimli kitaplarını yayımlamaları ile tanınmaya başlayan bir yaklaşımdır. Bu çalışmada yukarıda kısaca bahsedilen post modern yaklaşımlardan olan Öyküsel Terapi yaklaşımı ile en popüler modernist danışma kuramlarından olan Bilişsel Davranışçı Terapi ve Psikanalitik Terapi yaklaşımlarının felfesi ve kuramsal temelleri, insan doğasına bakış açıları, ruhsal rahatsızlıları formüle etme biçimleri, psikolojik danışma sürecindeki terapötik amaçları, danışan-danışman ilişkileri, danışma aşamaları ve kullanılan teknikler açısından karşılaştırarak modernits ve post-modernist kuramlar arasında temel farklılıkları ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Yapılan bu karşılaştırmanın sonuçlarına göre üç kuramın da danışma sürecindeki sonuç hedefleri benzerlik gösterse de Öyküsel Terapi yaklaşımının Bilişsel Davranışçı Terapi ve Psikanaliz Terapi yaklaşımlarına göre bireyin potansiyeline daha çok güvenen, sorun okdalı bir bakış açısı ile danışma sırasında otorite figürü olmaktan kaçınan, bireyin sosyo-psikolojik gelişimine önem veren çok kültürlü bir bakış açısına sahip bir danışma kuramı olduğu ve ilişkilerin önemli olduğu toplulukçu kültürlerdeki bireyler açısından da uygun bir danışma yaklaşımı oduğu görülmüştür.
