Book Reviews of Nostalgic Postmodernism: Postmodern Therapy
Book Review: Shawver stretched my thinking
Summary: 5 Stars
In this, the first volume of a projected trilogy, Shawver provides a most important book about postmodernism and therapy. Written in a very readable style which is void of unnecessary jargon, Shawver stretched my own thinking and challenged me to strive to become even more postmodern than I consider myself to already be. Shawver is a great storyteller. Personal tales and historical facts are weaved throughout the book in order to describe the shift from the modern to the postmodern era. In chapter one, Shawver demystifies the postmodern when she writes, "One doesn't need to know the word `postmodern' in order to be postmodern." I found chapter three to be a particularly valuable resource; here she describes the history of the concept of postmodernism and sets forth an etymology of the term postmodern. For therapists who are new to postmodernism, I personally recommend this book because it presents these important ideas within a historical context and in such a way that is accessible to readers of any clinical orientation. I also recommend this book to therapists who are familiar and experienced with this topic because it presents material that has not yet been revealed in Shawver's writings or elsewhere. I commend Lois Shawver for making such an important contribution to the field.
