George Kelly's personal construct theory, first published in 1955,
is as radical today as it was then. Describing how each one of us
goes about our daily life trying to make sense of the events around
us, it maintains that we are in charge of what we do in the world,
that we do not merely react to events. This book reveals that
George Kelly was a man of enormous intellect, of many talents and
of great complexity. Fay Fransella outlines how his views have
influenced the theory and practice of psychotherapy, and
illustrates how his training in physics and mathematics influenced
his theory and led to the development of one of his methods of
measurement - the repertory grid. The book also describes Kelly's
philosophy of constructive alternativism, which suggests that we
have created and can therefore recreate ourselves, and that what is
true for the individual, rather than some external truth, is what
matters. This philosophy can be seen as a precursor of the current
emphasis on constructivism. Criticisms of Kelly's work and examples
of work carried out within this framework since his death are also
featured.
