Fay Fransella is Founder and Director of the Centre for
Personal Construct Psychology, Emeritus Reader in Clinical
Psychology, University of London and Visiting Professor in Personal
Construct Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, UK. She
has written eleven books, eight of them specifically relating to
personal construct psychology and published over one hundred and
fifty journal papers and chapters.
She trained and worked as an Occupational Therapist for ten 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. It was a revolutionary alternative to the dominant behaviourism 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 carried out research, mainly into problems of stuttering and weight, together with teaching and writing within the framework of Kelly’s ideas.
