Abstract
Following Lyddon (1995), contextualist understandings of development, including dialectical change and cognitive construction, are distingui shed from organismic perspectives on the basis of the distinction betw een formal and final causation. Life-span developmental and postmodern contextualist trends are offered as a viable framework for emerging c ounseling theories that seek to capture the diversity of human develop ment.
