The video clip of Ernst Von Glaserfeld on Radical constructionism as therapy, made me a little skeptic. I may not know much about the depth of unconceptualized apples, but I know a lot about therapy, and there are many problems with his statement.
How exactly is thinking this way therapeutic? Is there any evidence that supports its effectiveness? Which types of people should receive this treatment? What types of people should not receive this treatment? How would the therapy sessions be set up? Would this be under the humanistic paradigm? What makes him think that everyone needs this therapy? What makes him think that everyone should think this way? Is it because he wants everyone to stop asking him questions? Is it because he wants to be right?

He says that radical constructivism could be "a kind of therapy" to the ordinary person. I don't think he's suggesting it could be an actual method for psychological therapy.
