The integrative text of Meaning-Making: Counseling and Groupwork in
Education brings 40 years of research and scholarship in
counseling, psychology, and education together in a singular
analysis of the significant role meaning-making plays in how we
come to know ourselves and others. In rejecting the modern
understanding of the world as something "out there," Richard L.
Hayes offers that we live in a postmodern world of our own making
informed by our unique experience with that world. People are
presented as self-organizing systems who are set indivisibly within
changing social contexts. Development is the natural outcome of
their attempts to realize a more stable and reliable understanding
of that world. This meaning-making activity is positioned as an
ongoing, dialectical, and recursive process of change and
re-invention. The author argues that the construction of meaning is
at the heart of the change process in illuminating its central role
in individual development, loss, empowerment, multiculturalism,
group and team development, and fostering collaboration. How these
processes can be used to promote the development of deliberate
democratic communities of learners illustrates how mental health
professionals and educators can apply these insights to their own
preparation and practice.
