Imprecision in the Estimation of Willingness to Pay Using Subjective Well-Being Data
Rigorously respecting the person
This article reviews humanistic critiques of traditional diagnoses, manualized treatments, and randomized controlled trial research. Humanistic psychology must more aggressively elaborate its alternatives to these mainstream approaches if it is to realize its potential as a human science capable of transforming the field. Humanistic alternatives to these approaches are explored in general and discussed specifically within the context of experient…
Experiential personal construct therapeutic artistry
Experiential personal construct psychotherapy focuses on the intimate, interconnected, and evolving relationship between the therapist and the client as vital to therapeutic growth. Great creativity is demanded of the therapist who aspires to connect with clients in life‐changing psychotherapy. This article first describes the essential nature of the therapy relationship with its implicit and explicit demands for therapist creativity. These princ…
Constructivist therapy with serious disturbances
There have been few systematic applications of constructivist principles to the therapy of severe disturbances, despite an increased interest in constructivist therapies (e.g., Neimeyer & Mahoney, 1995) and data suggest that psychotherapy with seriously disturbed persons is cost effective (Karon, 1992). We address this neglect in two ways. First we describe four important principles of constructivist therapy (the credulous approach, the invitatio…
Organization scores of self and other on the repertory grid
Traditional repertory grid studies of construct system organization have assumed that measures of organization derived from the construing of others are equivalent to measures derived from the construing of self. They also have assumed that constructs generated around the construing of others can be used to construe the self. Finally, they have assumed that the self is a unitary concept that does not vary across contexts. This study provides some…
Impression Formation and Construct System Organization
Research into the changes in construing associated with impression formation has focussed on the content of the cognitive dimensions used. Such an approach has ignored the structural organization of such cognitive dimensions. This study used the repertory grid to explore the structural correlates o/the impression formation process. Forty nine first year university students completed repertory grids based upon well known and newly met acquaintance…
An investigation into variables affecting self‐change on personal constructs
This study investigated the relationship between the anticipation of change, construct meaningfulness, construct differentiation, and the amount of change occurring on personal constructs over a six‐week period. The anticipation of change was defined as the degree of change the subject expected to occur over the six‐week time period. The anticipation of change was positively related to the amount of change that occurred in the construing of the s…
Construct similarity, self-meaningfulness, and presidential preference
Obesity, Personal Constructs, and Amount of Weight Loss
Seven weight-relevant personal constructs were elicited from 12 obese subjects participating in a weight-reduction group. Construct ordination, or the degree to which a construct integrates various self-understandings into an interrelated system, was then studied in the context of weight reduction. It was found that the more ordinating the construct of “myself as overweight—myself as not overweight” at the beginning of the group, the less weight …
Literalism, perspectivism, chaotic fragmentalism and psychotherapy techniques
Literalism and chaotic fragmentalism have been advanced as two concepts to explain psychopathology while perspectivism has been used to explain psychological health (Landfield, 1980a). It is hypothesized that, to the extent that they are therapeutic, all therapies move clients toward perspectivism and away from literalism and chaotic fragmentalism. Eight major schools of psychotherapy are discussed in terms of the principles of technique which en…
Personal constructs and homosexual stress
This study introduced and elaborated a personal construct theory approach to the assessment of the potential for homosexual threat (homosexual stress). The measure, modified from personal construct research on death threat, was tested with 20 male and 20 female undergraduates. Those individuals who were more stressed by homosexuality were those with more negative attitudes toward homosexuality. Further, those individuals with the most negative at…
