The postmodernist turn in psychology and social sciences has made interactions between clients and therapists more focused on language and processes to make sense of relationships and feelings. Postmodernism and social constructionism are becoming increasingly common in marital and family therapy practices, so understanding their essence is crucial for a qualified MFT professional. This essay is devoted to the author’s understandings of postmodernism, its connections to other theories, potential uses, and concerns. From my perspective, the emphasis on language and meaning rather than social/biological systems could be listed among the clear and compelling elements of postmodern thought. The acquisition of social skills in human development is inextricably connected with linguistic competencies and socialization through language, which explains the central role of language in the postmodernist movement (Chenail et al., 2020). Among other things, postmodernism recognizes the great power that words, terms, and subjective understanding have on individuals and couples. This includes the therapeutic influences of language and the opportunity to use it to “unframe problematic framing to help families generate healthier possibilities” (Chenail et al., 2020, p. 418). The tendency to ignore the subjective meanings expressed through language can be harmful in counseling, which is why the listed element is easy to explain. When it comes to systems theories, there is a drastic contradiction between attempts to explore the family or other units holistically and applying the postmodernist approach. Postmodernism holds that one global theory cannot “describe, explain, interpret, and predict all human behavior” and that there should be “a plurality of possible descriptions and interpretations” (Chenail et al., 2020, p. 418). Since a belief in the absence of objective knowledge is prevalent in postmodernism, this movement rejects attempts to apply systems thinking to the family. For instance, Bowen’s family systems theory views the family as a coherent emotional unit and posits that it is impossible to understand a person without exploring his/her immediate social surroundings (Erdem & Safi, 2018). Such theories emphasize the system’s homeostasis as a contributor to people’s behaviors, whereas postmodernism lays stress on every involved person’s unique worldviews and perceptions. Postmodernism and social constructionism inform my work by influencing the selection of interviewing techniques and the readiness to accept the multiplicity of perspectives on the same issue in clinical contexts. Social constructionism gives the pride of place to interpretive disciplines and psychological explanations (Gergen, 1985). This perspective is reflected in my interviewing activities with clients, including the prevalence of open-ended and clarification questions. Asking individuals to explain and define even the simplest concepts linked to their marriage issues, which is also known as not-knowing, is also common in my practice with couples. As for other postmodernist approaches, I treat clients as experts and avoid comparing their systems of values with any reference points and outdated expectations of a healthy family (Northcen
