| About the Conference |
|
This conference is an invitation for anyone
interested in Personal Construct Theory from whatever background to come and
share their ideas regarding the application and development of PCT. We welcome
the participation of practitioners, academics, researchers an students from a
PCT background as well as from related relative approaches such as
constructivists, constructionists and narrative exploration. The welcome
extends to anyone using or critiquing PCT and its related methodologies such as
repertory grids, laddering and behavioural experimentation.
The EPCA conferences aim to explore
developments and applications of methods of PCT across the diverse range of
fields of research and practice that it has informed including education,
counselling, business, the arts, architecture and religion. A common
feature underpinning these diverse fields is the personal construing of people
as they generate meaning and make choices based on their personal experience.
This 14th Biennial European Personal
Construct Association Conference is something of a returning home for PCT as George
Kelly, who developed PCT, lived and studied here in Edinburgh in 1932.
