The inspiration for this episode came from a BBC Radio 4 programme, The Age of Diagnosis by Suzanne O'Sullivan. The programme is an abridged version of her book. This episode looks at Kelly's definition of disorder, something quite different from current diagnostic manuals. His version is more likely to help us to understand and help the person bec…

This episode looks at De Boeck’s (1981) analysis of Kelly's statements about loose construing. This is a helpful summary. If you would like to read the paper, it is largely about grids analysis of construing in schizophrenia, so it may not suit everyone. Reference Van den Bergh, O., de Boeck, P., and Claeys. W. (1985) Schizophrenia: What is Loose i…

Kelly has six important questions for the therapist to help them to formulate and then uses particular terms to desc…

This month the episode is about laddering, which came as a request from a listener. A great request because it is an extremely powerful technique so should be used with great care and full attention being paid to the person you are working with. Laddering can very quickly get to aspects of a person’s construing they may not have expressed in words,…

If we want to be able to help people, we will need to understand their personal construing of the problem. Exploring this with them- finding out about their constructs - will enable us to begin this process. This episode includes a typical referral for an anxious child, with three very different possible constructions of the problem. This is a remi…

n this episode we will think about Kelly’s definition of hostility applied to an aspect of the recent race riots in the UK. On the whole, as we have experiences, we make adjustments to construing, based on fresh evidence. However, there will be times when, despite all the evidence, we hang on to our current construing. Kelly’s professional or trans…

This episode is about finding gratitude among contrast and as a byproduct of the "struggle" phase of the Flow cycle. (It's also about finding perspective among chaos.)

This episode is about the overwhelm that can happen with lots of stimuli and finding interests among the novelty and variety of life. It's also about getting clear about what is "essential" to you, your creative practice and your life. This is part of "essentialism" for me. I'm not a minimalist, but I do find when I clarify the essentials to any pr…

This month’s episode will be focussed on time. I listened to a few things on the radio about time and read some articles which were all very interesting and sparked this episode. I summarise the information from them and think about what Dorothy Rowe had to say about it and a few ideas for exploring a person’s personal constructions. References All…

I thought it was time to invite you to have a go at something you could easily use with people you are working with. This involves eliciting constructs, identifying the more important ones and then pyramiding those constructs. You will use fantasy characters or stories that had an impact on you when you were growing up and it does not matter what s…

This episode has an idea you can experiment with as an exploration of yourself. Miller Mair’s Community of Self is an interesting and rather playful way to take a look at yourself as a number of characters engaged in ‘producing’ you. I have taken some excepts from a paper by Mair and if you are interested, it would be worth reading the whole paper …
