Drawing from social and literary accounts of discourse Gergen considers these challenges to empiricism under the banner of \"social construction\". His aim is to outline the major elements of a social constructionist perspective, to illustrate its potential, and to initiate debate on the future of constructionist pursuits in the human sciences generally and psychology in particular.
