You are invited to the XVIIth International Congress on Personal Construct Psychology to be held in Brisbane, Australia from July 16th to 20th, 2007. The conference will be held in a bushland setting in subtropical Brisbane. The conference venue, Near Mt Cootha, is 6 kms from the city centre and near the botanical gardens and panoramic venues of the Brisbane area. Brisbane is only one hour's drive from the famed beaches of the Gold and Sunshine Coasts. 

About the Congress:  Personal Construct Theory was developed by George Kelly (1905-1967),  a clinical psychologist who was interested in  personal meaning and choice. The congress in Brisbane, Australia will be the 17th bi-annual  international congress organized to explore developments in PCT theory and practice. PCT conferences provide an opportunity for academics and practitioners, students and researchers from diverse backgrounds to share ideas regarding applications of PCT and related approaches. PCT and methods derived from it, have informed research and practice across a range of fields including education, counseling, business, the arts, architecture and religion. A common feature underpinning these diverse fields is personal construing, people generating meaning and making choices based on their personal experience.
