The Annual General Meeting of this group was held recently and a number of
issues were raised that might be of specific interest to some and more
general interest to others. These include:
That the affiliation with the University of Reading as a Research Group had
been significantly enhanced in support, representation and profile. The
Research Group is active, providing a supportive milieu for people to share
their understanding of personal construct psychology. The community
consists of active participants who are researchers and practioners many of
whom are publishing members. New members or expressions of interest are
very welcome and enquiries should be directed to Bob Sexton on .
For existing members please note that annual subscriptions (£5) are now
due. In order to update the Membership list to current members only,
lapsed members will no longer receive further information.
There is an urgent need to set up a PCP Resource Centre with a Departmental
Base to be located at the University of Reading. One of our seminal
leaders, Faye Fransella, is donating her collection of books and theses
relating to PCP and it is anticipated that this may become an National or
International Resource Base.
