psychotherapy, postmodernityAbstract
This paper addresses the challenges that psychotherapy faces in the context of the so called postmodern condition, after one hundred years in the history of psychotherapy. A brief review of the main psychotherapeutic approaches is presented from a cultural and stylistic viewpoint. An attempt to elucidate the definition of the term postmodern is discussed, together with a warning against the potentially ambivalent effects of advocating some forms of postmodern psychotherapy. Finally, from a more afirmative position, a sketch of what could be the main postmodern challenges for psychotherapy is presented.
