More About This Textbook
Overview
Reflections in Personal Construct Theory explores different aspects of the important concept of reflexivity. In a series of thought-provoking chapters, several internationally renowned practitioners discuss the impact of reflexivity on various perspectives of their own work. Each chapter covers an aspect of Personal Construct Theory which the authors have found helpful in their own practices. They proceed to reveal how it relates to reflexivity, how they have incorporated this in practice, and how it has enhanced their understanding of their own process of self construing. As a result, valuable insights and practical guidance are provided both for professionals managing therapeutic relationships and those new to personal construct psychology.
Reflections in Personal Construct Theory represents an important new contribution to a central tenet of Personal Construct Psychology that continues to gain influence with scholars, researchers and practitioners across a broad range of disciplines.
