George Kelly
Data di nascita: 28. Aprile 1905
Data di morte: 6. Marzo 1967
George Alexander Kelly è stato uno psicologo statunitense, ideatore della Teoria dei Costrutti Personali, antesignana del Costruttivismo.
Kelly elaborò una tecnica, la "griglia di repertorio”, basata sul principio che è possibile individuare delle relazioni matematiche tra i costrutti di una persona.
Lavorò negli Stati Uniti d'America soprattutto nell'area della psicologia clinica, elaborando la sua teoria dei costrutti personali, centrata sul cambiamento delle persone attraverso la psicoterapia, sebbene ritenesse il termine psicoterapia inadeguato per descrivere l'avventura dell'uomo nelle sue transizioni e trasformazioni.

Frasi George Kelly
Variante: What I am saying is that it is not so much what man is that counts as it is what he ventures to make of himself. To make the leap he must do more than disclose himself; he must risk a certain amount of confusion. Then, as soon as he does catch a glimpse of a different kind of life, he needs to find some way of overcoming the paralyzing moment of threat, for this is the instant when he wonders who he really is - whether he is what he just was or is what he is about to be. Adam must have experienced such a moment.
