The article discusses how Personal Construct Theory can help social work students develop better ways of understanding people and their problems. The researchers used a technique called Role Construct Repertory Grid to study how social work training can lead to positive or negative changes in students' thinking. They found that social work education can either help students become more sensitive and imaginative in their approach, or make them oversimplify and become less effective. By understanding Personal Construct Theory, social workers can improve their ability to help others effectively.
