In the half century that has passed since George Kelly put forwardhis psychology of personal constructs, there have been majoradvances in the form of psychotherapy derived from his theory. Thisbook presents developments in the personal construct theoryperspective on psychological disorders and their treatment in thecontext of contemporary issues in psychotherapy; illustrates thediverse range of personal construct psychotherapy approaches thathave been devised for a wide range of clinical problems; andindicates the growing evidence base for these approaches.It contains contributions from most of the leadinginternational practitioners in the field. It will not only be ofinterest to psychotherapists, other clinicians, academics, andstudents who are already familiar with personal construct theory orconstructivism, but also to those who are seeking a therapeuticapproach which is integrative but has a clear theoreticalrationale, and which is able to combine humanism withrigour.
