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.
