Welcome
to the Internet Journal
"Personal Construct Theory
&
Practice"!
|
|
|

|
Personal
Construct Psychology was developed by George A. Kelly
and
presented in his ground-breaking work "The Psychology of
Personal Constructs" in 1955. In
this book he developed a theory of personality centred
around the distinctive ways in which individuals construct and
reconstruct the meanings of their lives, which he subsequently
elaborated in a series of papers. While Kelly’s original
focus was on
applications to psychotherapy and counselling, personal construct
concepts and methods have been used to understand such topics as
diverse as stuttering, the development and breakdown of close
relationships, vocational decision making, education, bereavement and
organisational behaviour.
