Originally published in 1988, Experimenting with Personal Construct Psychology provided an up-to-date account of the state of personal construct psychology revealing the diversity of its application and its exciting developments at the time. It had been thirty years since George Kelly published his The Psychology of Personal Constructs and his ideas and methodology had become widely known internationally and acknowledged as significant contributions to the theory and practice of psychology as the science of human experience and behaviour. Kelly’s ideas had been elaborated, the range of convenience of the theory had been greatly extended, and this was the focus for the congress on which this volume is based. It is divided into eight parts: Theory, Education, Children, Clinical, Methodology, Industrial Settings, Attitudes and Beliefs and The Arts. The contributors reflect the international reach of the theory.
This book is a re-issue originally published in 1988. The language used and views portrayed are a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
Review for the original edition:
“… The applications of PCT in education and to child development, and in industry and the arts, which are represented here, are of considerable interest and of potential relevance for any clinical psychiatry and psychology…. The whole area of interactive grid elicitation and analysis … shows as-yet unexplored promise.” – J. P. Watson, Professor of Psychiatry, UMDS, Guy’s Hospital, London
