“…The benefits of utilising a PCT framework with this population include eloquent explanations about the construing processes of individuals with ASD Procter, 2001). From this, understanding the experiences of adolescents with ASD within a personal constructivist framework may be helpful for family members and clinicians to recognise that adolescents with ASD may differ in their constructions of their world, themselves, and others Truneckova & Viney, 2012). Further, it may facilitate sensitivity to the possible ways in which these constructions may affect individuals' mental health and wellbeing .…”

. (2015). The perceptions and experiences of adolescent boys with autism spectrum disorder: a personal construct psychology perspective. Journal of Intellectual and Developmental Disability, 40 (4), 354-367.The perceptions and experiences of adolescent boys with autism spectrum disorder: a personal construct psychology perspective AbstractBackground This study applies personal construct psychology for understanding the experiences of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Method Semistructured interviews were conducted with 26 participants from 8 families, including adolescent males with ASD, mothers, fathers, and adolescent neurotypically developing siblings. Analysis of interview data was structured according to the themes presented in a previous theoretical application of personal construct theory (PCT) for understanding adolescents with ASD. Results Themes included complexity of the adolescent social realm, sense-making in multifaceted situations, identity development, development of flexible processing styles, and understanding and managing physical and emotional changes associated with puberty. Conclusion The study provides empirical support for the application of PCT for understanding adolescents with ASD. The insights provided by the participants may be helpful for adolescents with ASD, family members, and clinicians.

“…Another concept proposed by Kelly (1969a), the "invitational mood," involves a willingness by the therapist to take on other points of view to assist understandings within the therapeutic dyad. This may involve the use of metaphors by the therapist and the child, a concept that goes beyond one meaning and can unite the meanings of separate things by becoming the "lens" for viewing the other (Buzzecoli, Carattoni, & Favaro, 2012).Metaphors help children translate their experiences and understanding of the outside world into personal constructions (Buzzecoli et al, 2012).During the process of developing a therapeutic relationship with children, therapists also adopt the role of inquirer rather than expert (Dalton & Dunnett, 2005) and promote the technique of hypothetical and provisional ways of thinking (Truneckova & Viney, 2012).…”

As personal construct psychology is person-centered, child-centered personal construct psychotherapy sets out to have the child the central subject for any psychological enquiry. Child-centered personal construct psychotherapy is developed from the theoretical and practice-based assumptions of personal construct psychology and practiced through the medium of play therapy. Effective psychological change occurs when the child's self-theory is elaborated through the extension and definition of the core construct self-other, with the therapist's construing of the child becoming primary evidence of how the child understands self. Clinical material is provided to further illustrate our child-centered psychotherapeutic approach. AbstractAs personal construct psychology is person-centered, child-centered personal construct
