Annotation: Postmodern therapy has seen only a glimmer of its possibilities. As ideological wars spawned by the introduction of postmodern ideas to therapy settle, the horizon on questions we have yet to ask our clients and ourselves seems to stretch out further before us. Research, a rigorous approach to posing and answering questions, can become collaborative when guided by questions that build on our clients' preferences and curiosities. After reviewing a discursive rationale for research as a purposefully constructive activity, three novel approaches to constructive research are reviewed: appreciative inquiry, researching resistance to abuse and trauma, and researching the manner in which clients relate their experience.
