Abstract: "The ways in which we think, feel about and understand the world around us all depend on the nature of this system of personal constructs we have devised. In order to make sense of the behaviour of another person we have to begin by understanding his or her personal constructs, which means talking to them and asking them to talk about themselves." "Readers attempting to understand the views and motivations of children and young people, and representing or explaining these views to others, will find this book offers valuable practical ways to enhance the work they do."--Jacket.
