DescriptionThe fast pace changes in the world have had tremendous impacts on the practice of psychotherapy. Modernity, the media, and technology have changed the way we view others and ourselves. The social construction of self continues to evolve in ways that cannot be envisioned, but must be welcomed and understood. Social workers practice in an environment that is much different from that place where the profession first evolved and are called to continue to evolve in ways that continue to honor the commitment of the profession to recognize the central importance of human relationships. This case study examines a novel way to challenge the dominant narrative discourse in the therapy room. It concerns the challenges of a young man coming to terms with his sexual abuse and how therapist self-disclosure assisted in redefining the masculine narrative and worked toward the construction of a post-traumatic masculine identity.
