According to R. A. Neimeyer (2000) and Botella and Herrero (2000), an integrative bridge between cognitive constructivist and social constructionist approaches to therapy might be usefully labeled relational constructivism. This article affirms that Adlerian therapy— both explicitly and implicitly—is a relational constructivist approach, and consequently may serve as an integrative bridge between cognitive constructivist and social constructionist therapies. Both theory and practice issues are discussed. Keywords: Adlerian therapy; cognitive constructivist; social constructionist; relational constructivism; psychotherapy integrationThis article discusses how counselors can assist individuals, families, and communities to prepare and deal effectively with first-year anniversaries of traumatic events. These anniversaries represent psychological importance to traumatic events, so the effects need to be addressed preventively, not reactively. Counselors can become important resources in helping individuals, families, and communities in this process. This article provides specific guidelines in what needs to be considered when dealing with survivors, victims, their families and friends, communities, and the country at large to prepare and deal more effectively with the one-year anniversary of traumatic events that influence not just a community but the whole nation. More specifically, the article emphasizes five areas for counselors to consider: (a) expected anniversary reactions, (b) education that can help prepare for the one-year anniversary, (c) mental health services, (d) how counselors can help schools with the one-year anniversary, and (e) what counselors should remember. Keywords: terrorism; September 11; trauma; trauma anniversaries
