description The concept of postmodernist comprehension of re-establishing and preserving the context of counseling and therapy with families is presented in terms of "the fourth wave" (O'Hanlon) in the development of psychotherapy. Within the concept of ethics of involvement (Hoffman) the objective observer is replaced by cooperation, in which no one has the right to the final statement (and doesn't need one); instead, the conversation can continue in the way that uncerstanding and agreement determine the next step in the relationship. Participants in the agreement (the therapist and the client) search together for their personal or local story and create the new story. Through social construction and dialog counseling and therapy shape the concept of understanding. The role of the counselor or the therapist is to provide an open space for conversation in order to find common definitions and problem solutions (Lussi). He or she uses and develops the concept of personal leadership and working relationship (de Vries).
