Responsive Persistence Part <scp>II</scp>. Practices of Postmodern Therapists
This article, a companion to P art I of this series of articles, discusses how therapists informed by social constructionist and postmodern ideas enact persistence in their work with families. Transcripts and video‐recordings of therapy interaction facilitated by selected major champions for three postmodern (collaborative) therapies: M ichael W hite (narrative therapy), H arlene A nderson (collaborative language systems approach), and B ill O ' H anlon (solution‐oriented therapy) were examined for persistence practices. The article offers a range of possible ways in which postmodern therapists may enact their influence in facilitating generative and helpful conversations with families and remain responsive to clients' preferences and understandings. Implications for family therapy practice, training, and supervision are discussed.
