A quick definition of constructive authority:

Constructive authority is when someone is given the power to act on behalf of another person, even if it wasn't explicitly stated. This can happen when the person being represented gives the impression that they have given permission, or when the representative has acted in a way that suggests they have been given permission. It's important to understand the different types of authority, such as actual authority (when permission is explicitly given), apparent authority (when it seems like permission has been given), and implied authority (when permission is given through actions or past behavior). Knowing the different types of authority can help people understand who has the power to make decisions and act on behalf of others.

A more thorough explanation:

Constructive authority is a type of authority that is inferred because of an earlier grant of authority. This means that even if the principal did not explicitly give the agent the authority to act, the agent may still have the authority to act based on the circumstances.

For example, if a principal gives an agent the authority to sell a car, the agent may also have the constructive authority to negotiate the price of the car. This is because negotiating the price is necessary to carry out the actual authority to sell the car.

Another example is if a principal gives an agent the authority to sign a contract, the agent may also have the constructive authority to make minor changes to the contract. This is because making minor changes is incidental to carrying out the actual authority to sign the contract.

Overall, constructive authority is a way to ensure that agents have the necessary authority to carry out their duties, even if the principal did not explicitly give them that authority.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
