Hermeneutic Constructivism
Qualitative research is entirely an operation with language, in language, and occasionally on language.

The fulcrum of this tension is the nature of language itself and its role in human experience and mea…
The personal construct and language
The core consideration with which George Kelly is concerned is distilled in his suggestion that the psychology of personal constructs represents an attempt to catch a glimpse of the person going about the business of being human. Whatever the business of being human is for Kelly, he is clear that he wishes to understand that business from the perspective of those who are going about it. To use Kelly’s words, he wants to take the perspective of th…
