Abstract
Kelly and Foucault are unlikely to be seen together in any
sort of psychotherapeutic coalition, no matter how loose or it may be. Beyond
very discouraging and unpromising first impressions, a second look gives the reader
a chance to explore compatibilities between two different scholars who can
mutually enrich each other’s work by bringing personhood into the field of
impersonal discourses. A surprising compatibility can be construed between the
unusual construction of subjects offered in their work; a negative attitude
towards the truth and similarities between Kelly’s construct system (at the personal
level) and Foucault’s episteme (at the social level).
Key words: personal construct psychology, subjectivity,
episteme, poststructuralism
