Abstract
Kelly
has repeatedly invited to experiment with his theory to prove its fertility. However,
personal construct theory and its application to psychotherapy have seen few developments.
A recent contribution comes from Walker’s revision of the notion of
psychological disorder which opens new perspectives to the understanding of several
psychological events. Other contributions come from the narrative hermeneutic
approach. The outline of personal paths of dependency, and the more recent
proposal of forms of uncompleted recognition, are just examples of such a line
of research that arises from a phenomenological and hermeneutic interpretation
and elaboration of personal construct theory and psychotherapy.
Keywords: personal construct psychotherapy,
hermeneutic constructivist psychotherapy, disorder, forms of uncompleted
recognition.
