This handbook brings together, for the first time, a wide range of theories, research and practice that have grown out of Kellys original concept. It provides a reference on what has been done and insights into how further applications can be made within psychology and psychotherapy, and also informs non-psychologists and those unfamiliar with Kellys techniques of its usefulness and applicability in other disciplines. * This is the only comprehensive reference on PCP available * Kellys work is seminal and widely known * Emphasises practical application to a wide-range of disciplines
