Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the more recent developments in experiential personal construct psychotherapy. After briefly reviewing the foundations of the approach, I will dis-cuss recent developments in diagnosis, optimal functioning, the use of the therapy relationship to further the process of growth, the role of the body as a repository of meaning making, structural arrests, levels of awareness and the use of symbols to entrap as well as to free per-sons. I will use clinical vignettes to illustrate the issues raised.
