What human organisms do, is informed by the way they construe events, and in turn assign meaning to those events. Symptoms are a rare, but legitimate part of their activity. They challenge our everyday conceptions regarding human behaviour. From a personal construct perspective, however, they are not an exception to the laws of behaviour, or, an error of nature but activities embedded in a meaning making process.
