Committed
to the belief that social constructionist ideas have
powerful and positive implications for human life
and well-being, a group of scholars and practitioners
came together to found the Taos Institute in 1991.
With special attention initially directed to organizational
development, and to family therapy, the Institute
held international conferences in Taos, as well as
provided consultation grounded in social constructionist
theory to individuals and organizations and access
to social constructionist literature. Since this early
period Institute activities have expanded in many
directions. Many of these will become clear as you
explore this site more fully. However, a sample of
our past public offerings will illustrate some of
our major investments. (From left to right: Kenneth
