Opens the door to PCP
This is a solid foundational text, which explores what exactly PCP is and how it fits into the world of psychology. It offers readers a very positive (typically Kelly) view and is written in a manner by which the reader can explore themselves, thus making PCP much easier to grasp! This is an excellent door opener into the somewhat misunderstood philosophy and function of PCP - and is an essential text for those who wish to explore this field beyond an intro text to psychology.
