Abstract Postmodernism, as an interpretation of the current cultural climate, has been widely discussed. This paper offers a summary of some of the points raised within the postmodern literature and the argument is raised that Carl Rogers, client‐centered therapist and advocate of student‐centered learning was postmodern in his viewpoint. Various tentative suggestions are offered as to how the postmodern mood may or may not affect counseling and psychotherapy. The analysis is, necessarily, partial given that postmodernism offers no obvious prescriptions and no ‘grand view’. This may be both its strength and its failing. Links are made to nursing and health sciences.
