Harry Procter’s workshop

On 11st and 12nd September 2010 Harry Procter, as a Visiting Professor of our School, will lead the workshop Applying Personal and Relational Construct Psychology.

These workshops will introduce the assumptions behind a Personal Construct Psychology enhanced to deal satisfactorily with working with families and other groups and organisations. We will go through the various levels of construing involved in complex group interaction looking particularly at group members’ definitions of their own dyadic and triadic relationships.  We will look at basic ways of interviewing and structuring therapeutic intervention including questioning and the use of Qualitative Grids and other diagrammatic methods. Case examples will be used to illustrate the methods and there will be opportunity for experiential work and role-play as well as discussion and reflective practice.

Harry Procter has developed and continues to elaborate Personal Construct Family Therapy which is based on PCP and more generally Systemic Constructivism. Whilst focussed on families, the approach can be applied to understanding and working with individuals, groups and organisations. He worked for thirty years as a clinical psychologist with the NHS in the West of England. He specialised in the areas of both child and adult mental health and more recently developed an interest in childhood learning disabilities and autism. He has published 25 papers and chapters on the theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of his approach and he has edited two volumes of the selected papers of Milton H. Erickson for Paidos Publications, Barcelona.
