(Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy, Vol 4(2), Spring 2004) Fay Fransella is Founder and Director of the Centre for Personal Construct Pyschology, Emeritus Reader in Clinical Psychology, University of London and Visiting Professor in Personal Construct Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, UK. She has written eleven books, eight of them specifically relating to personal construct psychology and published over one hundred and fifty journal papers and chapters.  This first \u003ci\u003eInternational Handbook of Personal Construct Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e (PCP) illustrates by its breadth and scope the huge influence the work of George Kelly has had, since its inception in 1955, on psychology and related disciplines. Including some previously unpublished material by Kelly and Bannister, alongside classic texts, the handbook is largely devoted to the practical applications of Kelly’s work today.  \u003cp\u003eAreas in which PCP is now being used include expert systems, forensic psychology, psychotherapy and counselling, politics, post-traumatic stress, education, developmental and family psychology, organizational psychology, cross-cultural understanding, nursing, policing, artificial intelligence and sport. As far as possible, each chapter aims to give the reader an idea or method that they can try out for themselves in their own work or personal context.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEven today some of Kelly’s ideas are novel. Although all-embracing, this handbook cannot be comprehensive as new applications and extensions are being developed continually. It will prove an invaluable reference to practitioners and scholars from a wide range of disciplines, wherever human understanding is relevant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989447262437,"sku":"NP9780470847275","price":251.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470847275.jpg?v=1761784136","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/international-handbook-of-personal-construct-psychology-isbn-9780470847275","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
