Abstract
This article outlines an approach to optimal functioning based on an elaboration of the Sociality corollary of Kelly's (1955) personal construct psychology. Nine aspects of optimal functioning (discrimination, flexibility, creativity, responsibility, openness, commitment, courage, forgiveness, and reverence) are discussed in terms of their theoretical, empirical, and clinical implications. All of these aspects are viewed as an elaboration of empathy.
