| Abstract |
This article addresses the many faces of postmodernism and offers the critique that postmodernism taken up in a particular extremist way can tend to sacrifice the sacred, the spiritual, and the recognition of our greater than human worlds in quest for the particular. In response to this critique, a postmodern family therapy practice is presented that is informed by values of connectedness, community, and communion; enacted through love and pragmatics; and committed to recognition of an obligation to ecological practice.
