On Researching and Practicing Therapy as Social Construction with Pedro Martins | Ep. 134

How do we create conversations in the world that make us feel inspired?...Pedro Martins, Ph.D., is a Brazilian psychologist. He obtained his Doctoral and Master’s degree at the University of São Paulo. He is interested in the practice of therapy as social construction in different contexts, and his main goal is to create generative conversational resources that bridge academic and practical knowledge. He works as a clinical psychologist in his private practice. His research focuses on the workings of therapeutic conversation, particularly aiming to expand traditional, individual practices toward more socially and relationally sensitive ones. He is the author of Practicing Therapy as Social Construction (with Sheila McNamee and Emerson Rasera) and “Dialogic Communication in the Practice of Family Consultations in Mental Health" (with Carla Guanaes Lorenzi). Today, Abbie and Pedro explore the power of telling the untold stories, recognizing the co-creative nature of meaning, and moving from a focus on outcome to process in Pedro’s field of psychology and beyond....Stories Lived.
