This assignment requires that you imagine you are George Kelly in 1955 and have just finished writing “The Psychology of Personal Constructs”. You are writing to Freud to tell him about your new theory. He doesn’t know anything about it so you need to explain what has made you develop this new Psychology and the main principles.
You do not need to list all the corollaries and what they mean but you should include 2 or 3 that you think may interest him most or seem the most important to you. He will want to know how someone could find out about another person’s constructs so you will need to explain your methods for this.
