Constructivist Chronicle
Franz Epting Receives Abraham Maslow
Award from APA
Vol. 12, Issue 2
(Fall 2008)
By Jonathan D. Raskin
At the
August 2008
American Psychological Association
convention in Boston,
Franz Epting received the Abraham Maslow Award. APA's
Society for
Humanistic Psychology
presents the award, which they note is given to "an individual
for an outstanding and lasting contribution to the exploration
of the farther reaches of human spirit." Based on his career
advancing humanistic approaches
to personal construct
psychology, Franz clearly meets
these exceptional criteria and embodies the essence of the
Maslow Award.
At his awards talk, Franz discussed the pragmatism of
George Kelly. Franz has been
working for some time now on a biography of Kelly and the
material he presented at his award was drawn from his
biographical research on Kelly's life. Fellow CPN members Larry
Leitner, April Faidley, and Jon Raskin were in attendance to
celebrate Franz's achievement.
Congratulations, Franz, on this well-deserved honor!
