THE EIGHTH AUSTRALASIAN
PERSONAL CONSTRUCT PSYCHOLOGY CONFERENCE
"CONNECTING THE PERSONAL AND SOCIAL"
5 - 7 JULY 1998,
BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
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. There will be a
keynote speaker and a symposium is planned on the theme of the
conference, "Connecting the Personal and the Social".
Abstracts (appx 150 words) of proposed papers, presentations or
workshops on the conference theme or other areas of PCP should be
returned no later than February 27, 1998. Proposals should
include contact information (e-mail if possible) as well as
audio-visual or computer requirements. Proposals for pre-
conference workshops are required by December 29 as additional
venue bookings are required.
The conference will be held in at the Bardon Professional Centre,
Brisbane from 5 to 7 July. Accommodation is available on site
and the conference cost includes day-time meals and refreshments.
The venue is easily accessible and located near the botanical gardens
and a national park. A conference dinner and other social activities
will be organised. Further information regarding cost, travel and
accommodation will be available.
