Abstract
This paper presents a model of the construction of social reality through human interaction. Human interactants are characterized as creating (realizing) the facts they come to believe about themselves. This creative process occurs during interpersonal interactions in which both desirable and/or undesirable facts emerge. A case study of a couple in therapy demonstrates the process through which a husband and wife have created many undesirable facts between them while denying that several desirable facts happen between them. A discussion of the power and responsibility involved in realizing interpersonal experiences follows the case study analysis.
