Abstract
Therapists need to keep in mind the philosophical bases of their work. Paul Ricoeur's work on hermeneutic philosophy can cast light upon our understanding of the client as she develops her meanings and narratives of her life. Clients' narratives are polysemic: they carry multiple meanings. The task of the therapist is to both bear in mind the multiplicity of narrative meanings within the client's story and as appropriate to facilitate the client in doing the same. This is explored through a case study. The construction of theory as polysemic also provides a novel way to consider theory integration.
