FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
PCP or Personal Construct Theory is concerned with how people construe and
construct their world and has been widely used in counselling, health,
organisational, managerial and marketing work.
Previous PCP conferences have combined theoretical and research based
papers from a wide range of areas. This approach can provide new ideas to
persons experienced with PCP, while providing an opportunity for people
unfamiliar with PCP to examine the range of applicability of PCP. Since the
original work by Kelly the theory of PCP has been elaborated upon and the
relations between social constructivism and narrative approaches have been
explored.
The conference is organised over three days. Professor Greg Neimeyer is the
keynote speaker and a symposium is planned on the theme of the conference,
"Connecting the Personal and the Social".

on the conference theme or other areas of PCP should be returned no later
than the end March, 1998
