Fay Fransella is Founder and Director of the Center for
Personal Construct Psychology, Emeritus Reader in Clinical
Psychology, University of London and Visiting Professor of Personal
Construct Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire. She has
written 11 books, eight of them specifically relating to personal
construct psychology and the use of repertory grids, and she has
published over 150 journal papers and book chapters. She wrote the
first edition of A Manual for Repertory Grid
Technique with Don Bannister for Academic Press in 1977.
She trained and worked as an occupational therapist for 10 years
before taking a degree in psychology and a postgraduate diploma in
clinical psychology in 1962. It was during her first job as a
lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry, London, that she was
introduced to George Kelly”s personal construct psychology
and his repertory grid method. Both were revolutionary alternatives
to the dominant behaviorism of the time. She found the view that we
are all free agents responsible for what we make of the events
which continually confront us particularly liberating. Since that
time she has conducted research, together with teaching and
writing, within the framework of Kelly”s ideas. Her main area
of research has been stuttering, for which she used a form of
repertory grid. She has also conducted research on weight disorders
and various psychological problems.
Richard Bell is an Associate Professor of Psychology at
the University of Melbourne. He is interested practical problems of
measurement in clinical, organizational and educational settings.
He has written extensively on the analysis of repertory grid data
and has authored widely used software for the analysis of such
data.
The influence of Don Bannister in arousing interest in
George Kelly”s theory and methods of assessment has been
profound. Even after his untimely death in 1986 his influence
continues, through those he inspired, through his professional
research and writings, and also through his four novels. In the
year in which this second edition of the Manual for Repertory
Grid Techniques is published the 15th International Congress in
Personal Construct Psychology was held in Huddersfield, UK,
focusing on that outstanding influence. He spent much of his
professional life carrying out research for the UK Medical Research
Council, which included a year working with George Kelly at Ohio
State University in 1965. He saw the psychology of personal
constructs as an approach to the person that was empowering,
democratic and, above all, valuable in helping people understand
themselves and others. He was insistent that psychologists should
use what power and influence they have to make a difference in the
lives of people. He would have taken great interest in the vast
amount of new work that has been carried out with and into that
tool which is detailed in this second edition of the book that he
co-authored in 1977.
