emergence of this period is believed to be the result of several social, historic and economic factors that occurred post WWII. This

Social Constructionist Therapy with the Single Parent Family
By: Joan D. Atwood, Ph.D.
Traditional models of therapy, based on modernist assumptions, embrace a position of certainty in that there is a model of normalcy, to
which the therapist then compares the person/family in therapy. In so doing, s/he focuses on how different the family is from the norm,
i.e. deficit focus, and decides which interventions are needed to bring the family closer to the norm.
