Jack Adams-Webber, Professor Emeritus, Department of Psychology, Brock University The field of personal construct psychology is a rapidly evolving one, particularly in the scope of its applications. The Wiley Handbook of Personal Construct Psychology rigorously updates the subject with a state-of-the-art review, focusing on the theory and its philosophy, methodology, areas of application, and future horizons. With international contributions from eminent authors, the handbook is divided into sections covering: personal construct psychology and its philosophy; methodology; society and culture; clinical applications; organizational applications; educational applications; and new horizons. Each of these sections begins with a review of the literature in the area concerned and an overview of key developments, followed by chapters illustrating work in the area. In addition, the handbook covers many new and contemporary issues in Personal Construct Psychology, including sexuality, grief and meaning reconstruction, education, and personal construct coaching. Alongside contributions from leaders in the field, the book draws on published and previously unpublished work by pioneers including Miller Mair and Fay Fransella.
