Hey!

My girlfriend just started to study psychology and because i'm also very interested in the topic, we look at stuff together sometimes. So just now, we saw a general overview of what is Social Constructionism (links to a youtube video), and when i heard these postmodern ideas (of which i have no real clues about, i just learned about them and looked them up a bit), it sounds to me as if these ideas are basically saying that form CAN change content, or just straight deny the existence of content at all.

More specifically, and as an example: There is the idea that by changing the forms of converation (behaviour) one can change our wellbeing. Or the other idea, that says that it's language that seperates our world; so if i change the language (behaviour) i can change that and not devide the world, make the world 'whole' so to say. Which means that form has power over content, which is just what the ego wants ofc.

I use the terms form & content in the way ken wapnick uses them, knowing that might help to clarify the context of my thoughts.
