 An Introduction to the PCP of G. Kelly
Kelly undoubtedly demonstrated the spirit of the great American pioneers with the publication of his major work at the age of fifty, when he more figuratively acted in the pioneering tradition by pushing back the boundaries of psychology as it was known and accepted at the time.
Kelly took great care to ensure that his theory was "utterly innocent of any forces, motives or incentives", since he believed that using notions such as 'motivation' or ‘psychodynamics' "is the kind of explanation we resort to when we don't want to bother to understand a person".
Kelly's preferred image of the person was to see him as a scientist, by which he meant that it is not only the professional scientist who wants to predict and control the universe, but that every human person has a similar aspiration.

George Kelly was a clinical psychologist who lived between 1905 and 1967, published a two volume work defining personal construct psychology in 1955, and went on to publish a large number of papers further developing the theory, many of which have been issued in collected form (Maher, 1969).

 George Kelly   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
George Kelly's theory, called constructive alternativism, involves the notion that, even though there is only one true reality, it is always experienced from one or another perspective or "alternative construction".
According to Kelly, "A person's construction system varies as he successively construes the replication of events." When things don't happen the way we expect them to or the way they have in the past, we learn to adapt and to reconstruct in order to modify our future anticipations.
It should be noted that Kelly's emphasis on the importance of and the malleability of personal interpretations, perspectives, and alternative constructions parallels what is taught in such ancient Buddhist texts as the Dhammapada.

 Understanding George Kelly and Personal Construct Theory which Underlies Repertory Grid
George Kelly began his career as an engineer, before becoming a clinical psychologist –; which may explain his concern for precision.
Kelly’s theory of personal constructs develops this principle further – for example, by considering whether and how we modify our constructs when faced with contradictory information, what are our ‘core constructs’ – that is, the deeply-held values and principles which are unlikely to change, etc.
Kelly took the view that most people can take responsibility for understanding and, where necessary, adapting their behaviour; and that the role of the therapist would be more useful as a ‘skilled mirror.’
