Studies In Meaning 2: Bridging the Personal and Social in Constructivist Psychology
Edited by Jonathan D. Raskin and Sara K. Bridges
This book marks an attempt to “bridge the gap” between
personal and social perspectives within constructivism. The chapters
within stress the emerging integration of personal and social aspects
of therapy, research, and theory development. As a result, this volume
continues an already vibrant scholarly dialogue about personal and
social perspectives within constructivist psychology. With
contributions from many noted writers, including: Franz Epting,
Gabriele Chiari, Laura Nuzzo, Jay Efran, Stephanie Lewis Harter,
Spencer McWilliams, Kenneth Sewell, Richard Watts, and Robert Neimeyer.
The Easy Guide to Repertory Grids

convenient and user-friendly introductory guide to the various
procedures involved in eliciting and analysing repertory
grids.” As a do-it-yourself guide, it leads the
reader step-by-step through techniques of eliciting grids and analysing
them “to an acceptable and rigorous standard”.
Includes practical exercises to help the reader gain a working
understanding of grid technique. Excellent for beginners and
current grid users who wish to fill out their understanding of grid use
in practice. See www.wiley.co.uk/easyguide for more information.
