Gender is seen not as a fixed quality or trait but as one socially constructed between men and woman. This idea is discussed in relation to the gender debate in family therapy, attachment theory and feminist contributions to psychoanalytic thinking. Gender relationships are created as part of a person's internal working models of self and other. The ways that gender patterns are carried forward are examined, especially with respect to the contradictions between a person's gendered internal working models and their experience. These ideas will be examined through case examples.

This is examined in relation to the field ofideas in family therapy out ofwhich it emerged. highlighting some ofthe similarities and differences, The lack ofacknowledgement by the narrative school ofmany ofthe commonalities shared with others is then considered. A second order perspective is taken, situating the therapist's theory in the presence ofthefamily of therapists to examine the development of the narrative approach to theory and practice. Constructionist contributions are considered in relation to the development ofan eclectic approach where the therapist adopts a multiverse oftheories to draw upon in practice. Development oftheory becomes then a dialogue between different lenses rather than the development ofanyone truth.
