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.

Alpine Tales 2018
|
The European Constructivist
Training Network (ECTN), the Società Costruttivista Italiana (SCI) and the
Institute of Constructivist Psycholgy (ICP) are glad to invite you
to
Alpine Tales 2018
the fourth edition of the constructivist Winter
School!
on the topic: WHAT ABOUT PASSION
1 - 4 February 2018 - San Martino di Castrozza (TN) - Italian
Alps
Alpine Tales is "a concrete experience in
embodying constructivism: a "school - not school", where
everyone is a teacher and a student at the same time, because, just like in our
everyday life, everybody here has something to share and something to learn. Everyone
is responsible in first person for their contribution.” (Lui C.). Teachers
and students, partaking in the everyday activities of the house, can share
their ideas and learn together, building networks and growing projects based on
the common interest in Personal Construct Psychology. Alpine Tales is open
to teacher, students, professionals and everybody who is interested in sharing
their ideas and experiences on Constructivism and Personal Construct Psychology
(PCP).
 The Winter School offers a program of workshop, peer
supervisions and experiential group activities. Fundamental importance is also
reserved to informal moments, where the participants can share ideas in front
of a cup of tea, relax or enjoy some winter sports.
Alpine Tales 2018 is open to up to 36 participants.
Reduced fees before the 31th of December 2017.

XXIInd ICPCP in Montreal, Canada in 2017
|
 The 22nd International Congress on PCP at Concordia
University in Montreal in July has been a success. Two plenary keynote addresses, 18
papers, 14 posters, 8 workshops, a “doctoral clinic” plus 3 introductory
pre-congress workshops were given. Thanks to the engaging enthusiasm of Ann-Louise Davidson and Nadia Naffi it seems likely that PCP has
gained a new footing in Canada. This seems in accordance with the title of the
congress that included “Reconnecting” – with a tradition that once existed in
Canada.
