Thanks for the web cite.
It captures well the basic principles of PCP.
The only error I found was Jerome Bruner's
critique. He greatly admired the theory but said
he didn't think he could practice psychotherapy the
way that Kelly recommended.
I have never seen Rogers' critique, but my understanding
is that he said something similar.
