    • 1994, David A. Winter, Personal Construct Psychology in Clinical Practice, page 173:
      However, these treatments could be contrasted not only on the introspective-extraspective, but also on the group-individual dimension, and accordingly current research is examining clients' construing and personal styles in relation to their response to an introspective and an extraspective group therapeutic approach.
