After a brief description of postmodernism, constructionism, and constructivism, the author describes constructivist therapies in general and then distinguishes one variety of a transactional analysis societal constructionist approach and three varieties of individual constructivist approaches. Neuro-physiological processes, however, subserve ego states, transactions, and scripts. Those transactional analytic theories and practices that include consideration of changes in the brain through the development, maintenance, or modification of neural networks might well be called “neuroconstructivist transactional analysis.” Through relationships and therapeutic interactions, we use our minds to change both our brains and the brains of others.
