Lets Talk by Simon Burnham

Lets Talk by Simon Burnham

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. This book introduces the personal construct theory. It provides exercises to illustrate the relevance of Personal Construct Psychology (PCP) to our lives.

′I enjoyed reading this book and could envisage the value of the Let′s Talk programmeThe simplicity of the book and the relaxed writing style belie the complexity of the ideas that underpin it...I would recommend this book to people who wish to increase their understanding of the meanings that experiences can have for the individuals with whom they work. The links the author makes between increased understanding and the potential avenues for change makes this a very practical and useful book′

′This book provides a useful introduction to the world of personal construct psychology and its application and offers a well-balanced mix of theory and practice... It should appeal not only to psychologists but also to parents and teachers, particularly behaviour support teachers, and indeed to any adult seeking to understand children′s behaviour ′
