MANFRIM, Ana Flávia Nascimento  e  RASERA, Emerson Fernando. Dialogues between the social constructionist discourse and social therapy. Nova perspect. sist. [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.56, pp.34-48. ISSN 0104-7841.

Interested in enriching the dialogues between social constructionism and several therapeutic proposals influenced by the postmodern discourse, this essay aimed to analyse the convergences and divergences concerning the social constructionist discourse and social therapy. Parting from constructionist proposals regarding therapeutic stance and therapeutic practices, a critical and comparative analysis of social therapy was developed. It is highlighted as converging features: collaborative orientation, values relevance, relational emphasis and focus on action. On the other hand, tensions are seen in the flexibility of perspectives and in the discursive emphasis. It is possible to conclude that the analyzed divergences may work as invitations to social constructionism and social therapy theoretical development.
