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.

The effect of the experimenter’s expectations about experimental outcomes on two physiological variables (EMG and EEG) were investigated in an experiment involving a tendon tap stimulus used to elicit a phasic stretch reflex. Experimenter’s and subject’s perceived locus of control scores were incorporated into the design to test their relevance as a mediating variable. Immediately after the presentation of the tendon tap stimulus, subject’s EEG alpha measures were found to be more biased in the direction of the experimenter’s expectations when experimenters and subjects were similar in their scores on the perceived locus of control scale. Biasing effects on EEG alpha measures in the direction of experimenter’s expectations were found early in the experimental session where subjects or their experimenters scored as internally controlled. The EMG measures increased or decreased in the direction of the experimenter’s expectations when subjects were internally controlled but there was a reversal of the direction of the experimenter’s expectations with subjects who scored as externally controlled so that no significant experimenter expectancy effect was observed.

British Journal of Clinical Psychology

To test the effects of some characteristics of a crisis on subsequent behaviour, the extinction period of an instrumental learning paradigm was employed with kindergarten-age children who were working with a three-choice discrimination task. The analysis of the data showed that: (a) a ‘crisis’ involving loss of reward from a social rather than a non-social source leads to greater disorganization and more fixed or rigid response from the children; (b) a ‘crisis’ requiring social rather than non-social responses results in the trying of more new responses and less frustration in boys and less ‘giving up’ by girls; and (c) girls who have experienced more reliable previous social sources of supplies withdraw less after a ‘crisis’ than those with less reliable sources. Both psychoanalytic and learning approaches were employed in discussing these findings and their implications for the future use of this laboratory analogue.

... This review included five articles based on four original studies that compared two or more specialised palliative care programmes: a well-designed randomised clinical trial, 21 a cohort study with a good control of confounding factors 22,23 and two other studies of low methodological quality due to the lack of control of confounding factors. 24,25 These papers described a total of seven different organisational models of specialised palliative care: four hospice-based models (large free-standing hospice, hospital-based hospice, home-care hospice, telemedicinebased hospice), one palliative care unit based at a general hospital and two models of referring specialists at hospital (a full service and a service limited to telephonic support to the staff caring the patient). None of the studies found that one programme was more effective or cost-effective than other. ...

A tisztázó kérdések, pontosítások mentén lehetőség nyílik arra is, hogy a "tematikai fonál" hangsúlyát és a tematikai gazdagságot mérlegeljük, és ennek nyomán a tematikailag szegényes történetek kibontását facilitálva a domináns témák hátterének árnyalásával, illetve a tematikailag gazdag, változatos élettörténeti epizódok támpontjainak reflektív megközelítésével segítsük azt az elaborációs folyamatot amely utat nyit az élettörténeti narratívák interpretatív feldolgozásához, valamint azokhoz a változás tényezőkhöz az élettörténeti csomópontok mentén, amelyekre építve elindulhat egy közös munka az "én-korlátozó" élettörténeti narratíváktól az "énerősítő" narratívák felé haladva az élettörténet "újra mesélése" során (VINEY, 1993).

... Roles defined hierarchically may cease to be functional or appropriate as the family moves into new stages.

Specific emphases within the systems framework have involved utilizing the family of procreation, rather than origin, due to its greater significance for older adults (Quinn and Keller, 1981); terminating the hierarchical boundary between adult child and older parent (Williamson, 1981); use of personal construct theory to guide an understanding of and intervention with the system of constructs in the family (Viney et al., 1988); using the introduction of a younger generation to assist another generation to negotiate their own changes (Corran, 1983); and intervening at the interplay between the older person's functioning in biological, psychological and social spheres, and the adaptive capacity of the family (Greene, 1986). ...

... 7 A study carried out in a British center and another during the sequence of deaths caused by the AIDS epidemic show that witnessing suffering and finiteness may underlie the appearance of feelings such as anger and frustration, producing effects on the relationships between peers. 18,19 We consider that these difficulties found in the relationships within the team may be strongly related to an important dimension evaluated by the MBI: depersonalization. This dimension concerns a certain indifference to what happens to others, reducing them to simple objects. ...

... In practice, hidden constructs are discoverable by examining more superficial ones that reflect the ways individuals try to make sense of the world [47]. Since constructs technically reflect a bipolar understanding of the world (e.g., good-bad, strong-weak, safe-dangerous), it is possible to let individuals appraise superficial constructs using bipolar positioning [48], in which they compare and contrast the superficial elements based on their own worldview. The compare-and-contrast process lets the individuals themselves define the essential dimensions (constructs) that they use to differentiate between the elements. ...

Mediante la integración, donde se han resuelto esos procesos de invalidación, la información obtenida se torna útil para futuras anticipaciones de la experiencia, convirtiendo el sistema de construcción personal en uno más preciso.
