Personal Construct Psychology in the Clinical Context
No Customer Reviews
In 1955, George Kelly made an early impact on what has been called the "cognitive revolution" with his Personal Construct Psychology (PCP) - a unique comprehensive theory of personality and clinical practice. Just how revolutionary was it? What were its contributions to psychotherapeutic treatments?
Dr. Kieron O'Connor and internationally renowned specialist Geoffrey Blowers review Kelly's theory and discuss its resurgence amidst the current cognitive psychotherapies. They illustrate the use of PCP methods - including its repertory grid techniques - in a range of clinical contexts and demonstrate how these can be adapted for both evaluation and treatment purposes far removed from Kelly's theory.They also include case examples and different statistical methods that show how to present results both qualitatively and quantitatively. This book offers a critique of current cognitive concepts and is designed for anyone seeking an informed, succinct and balanced appraisal of Kelly in the clinical context. It shows how PCP facilitates cognitive therapy and how it integrates well with other types of more traditional behavioural and humanist approaches.
