Kelly's Fixed Role Therapy

Kelly's Fixed Role Therapy is a psychological approach developed by George Kelly, focusing on helping individuals understand and change their behavior through role-playing. In this therapy, clients are encouraged to adopt a new “fixed role” that represents the qualities or behaviors they wish to develop. By acting out this role in different situations, clients can gain insights into how they perceive themselves and others, leading to personal growth. The aim is to shift maladaptive patterns into healthier ways of thinking and behaving, ultimately fostering greater self-awareness and adaptive functioning in daily life.
