Both postmodernism and humanism place a high value on individual differences in meaning systems. However, there are significant theoretical barriers to integrating these systems into a counseling orientation. A theoretical integration is proposed, along with implications for counseling practice. The purpose of this article is to explore the consequences of integrating humanistic and postmodern perspectives, with the hope that an integration of orientations that emphasize human meaning systems will provide a more effective challenge to the dominant medical model, which virtually ignores individual differences in meaning construction. This is accomplished within the following structure: (1) theoretical background; (2) conceptual similarities and differences between humanism and postmodernism; (3) resolutions to conceptual differences; and (4) discussion and conclusions.
