Abstract
- Ong, Murphy and Joseph argued that exposition of pluralistic practice embraces specific ontological 'positions' for different schools of psychotherapy which equates to an 'ontological eclecticism' that is antithetical to person-centered and experiential psychotherapies. I will however argue that the ontology underlying all schools of psychotherapy is universal and invariant; and that it is intertwined with the ontic (contingent and changeable) mode of psychotherapy. Regarding the latter, I suggest ways in which therapists may respond to, and co-experience, the client's personal experience of his or her particular racial/ethnic cultural milieu. I will conclude by discussing the ontologically relational stance that is inherent in both person-centered and pluralistic practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
