Abstract:
This article stems from the workshop conducted during the 26th International Congress on Personal Construct Psychology, held in Belgrade in 2025. Taking into account the peculiar characteristics of the picture books, this work aims to propose a theoretical framework that supports their ethical and professional use in psychotherapy. The Psychology of Personal Constructs will be the main lens, while constructive alternativism will be the underlying theme of the whole encounter with these particular books.
