>>Hello, John,

>>Thanks for the info! I'm going to check it out. Silly me, I
thought
>>'laddering' was only up :) -- Jung would be upset with me.

>Laddering down does as John mention enable one to obtain a more
>behaviourally explicit expression of a construct; but any one
construct
>will have _several_ "laddered-down" constructs: a variety of
>behaviourally more explicit expressions. Helen Jones calls this the
>process of elucidating all these, "pyramiding", andTrevor Butt did a
>useful summary of laddering up, laddering down, and pyramiding, with
a
>brief procedural guide, in the Newsletter of the European Personal
>Construct Society a couple of years ago. When I get home from the
office
>tonight I'llsnail-mail you a copy.
