Alpine Tales 2019

ECTN “Alpine Tales” 2019
The European Constructivist Training Network (ECTN) writes:
The European Constructivist Training
Network (ECTN) would like to invite you to join us for Alpine Tales
2019, the fifth Winter School of constructivist psychology on the topic Body & borders. Where system encounters
the world.
21-24 February 2019 - San Martino di Castrozza
(TN) - Italy
After the success of the last two
years, Alpine Tales returns with new ideas and opportunities that will provide
the perfect occasion to experience what living constructivism means.
The event
is going to be a “tangible experience of embodied constructivism: A “non-scholastic
school”, where everybody is a teacher and a student at the same time, just as
in life, where everyone has something to offer or to embrace.
Teachers,
scholars, students, clinicians and other people involved in PCP are going to be
living together, sharing ideas and learning from each other, building bridges
and sharing resources that will enrich their professions and their experience
of Personal Construct Psychology.
The Winter
School offers a program of workshops, peer supervisions and experiential group
activities. There will also be plenty of leisure time, in order to
visit the surrounding area, relax or enjoy the local winter sports, socializing
and exchanging ideas and interests in a really informal way.
This
year's edition will be held from the 21st until the 24th of February 2019 and
will be hosted in San Martino di Castrozza, surrounded by the beautiful
Dolomites, at a hight of 1487 meters.
Everybody
is invited to participate in the co-construction of Alpine Tales, so feel free
to present your experiential workshop proposal interpreting this year’s theme:
“Body & borders. Where system encounters the world”!
To
register, go to the website http://www.costruttivismo.it/alpine-tales-2019/. There are only 36 places
available! Please feel free to contact us for any questions or doubts
concerning the event at alpine.tales2019@gmail.com !
Hoping that you will join us in our
adventure on the Italian Alps,

New versions of Gaines/Shaw's free
RepGrid programme
|
Brain Gaines and Mildred Shaw write:
Rep Plus 1.1
is freely available for Windows and OS X and can be downloaded.
Rep
Plus is intended to replace Rep 5 which became unavailable in 2014, and
was designed to be familiar to those who have used Rep 5. It includes
more functionality because it is based on our ongoing research since
2002 when a partial snapshot of our code was used to create Rep 5.
We
have cleaned up many of the extensions to grids made in the 1980s/1990s
to support knowledge-based systems development, and brought them into a
coherent theoretical framework based on Kelly’s notion of anticipation
supported by the “intersection of properties,” have developed new
multiple-grid analyses to support colleagues in Sweden carrying out
large-scale studies of communities, extended our content analysis tools
that served as a a “mode grid editor” to support Honey/Jankowicz
content analysis methods, and added quality-control “synopses” of grids
to enable us to help colleagues who were having problems in analyzing
some of their data.
We
also developed a WebGrid server that allowed the upload of grid files
from most past and present grid programs, made that available to
colleagues wishing to put up WebGrid servers, and made it easy for users
of Rep Plus to switch back and forth between Rep Plus and WebGrid.
Brian’s
research in recent years has been primarily on the foundations of
logic, and Rep Plus includes semantic network and logical
inference/semantic analysis tools which are being made available to
colleagues in the logic research community. They also serve to implement
Kelly’s model of anticipation and are well-integrated with the grid
tools.
The manuals
show how conceptual structures can be represented in either grids or
nets and the equivalence of the alternative perspectives. Hopefully,
this may support further research on the theoretical foundations and
wider applications of Kelly’s mathematical psychology.
