Abstract: Although constructivism has generated much theoretical discussion in the mental health disciplines, its implications for clinic conceptualization, assessment, and treatment have been less systematically explored. The authors attempt to remedy this shortcoming by extending a narrative account of post-traumatic stress and illustrating its applicability in the context of an extended case study. They conclude that a narrative Perspective on the traumatic disruption of self-identity holds promise for clinicians at both the heuristic and applied levels.
