An invitation to the Psychology and Psychotherapy of Personal Constructs

On Thursday 13rd May 2010 Massimo Giliberto will lead the free workshop An invitation to the Psychology and Psychotherapy of Personal Constructs.

Among the great and systematic psychological theories, Personal Constructs Psychology (PCP) can be seen as the most clearly and radically centered approach to the way in which people give sense to what they do, to themselves, to others and to the world around them.

The focus on the idea that knowledge is not out of experience (it is construed) allows it to transcend almost all the reference points familiar to other psychologies. PCP, in effect, does not consider the traditional distinctions between cognition and emotion, dissolves the ‘self’ (at least in the way we consider it usually), transforms motivation and disperses the unconscious as a separate place for our reasons.

Far from empting the sense of human actions, going beyond all of the classical psychological categories, this approach opens new scenarios and a new ways to act in psychotherapy.

The workshop is intended to introduce participants to the origins of this theory, to the assumptions on which it is based, to the person model that characterizes it and to the therapeutic practice to which it all leads to.

In particular, it will be deepened the notion of ‘choice’ as G.A. Kelly proposes, and the value for life as well as for therapeutic practice will be explored in order to understand how and why people act as they act.
