Abstract
Abstract This article's text contains an attempt to identify some of those themes found in social constructionist texts and the positions regarding those themes that might encourage a committed personal-construct psychologist to avoid being identified as a contemporary social constructionist. The text contains supports to the claims that the common social-constructionist objections to constructions that define individuals unnecessarily constricts a constructionist view of psychological functioning, the common social-constructionist abhorrence of cognitive formulations is misdirected, and the social-constructionist avoidance of focus on the means by which scholars offer warrant to colleagues discourages work other than repetitive deconstruction. Counter positions that adhere to a constructionist epistemology are discussed.
