European Personal Construct Association

The EPCA was created in 1990 when participants at that year's European based Conference on Personal Construct Psychology recognized the need for some more permanent professional association which could:

• provide a focus for PCP in its own right, as distinct from the academic, professional, and practitioner disciplines which originally gave rise to PCP
• provide a forum on a pan-European basis, to provide a service to members based in countries which do not have a national association while supplementing activities in the countries (U.K., Germany) which do
• provide opportunities for development and support for people who would otherwise have no access to training or professional membership

The EPCA mission statement is:

"To raise awareness of Personal Construct Psychology and its applications among Europeans, and to promote the exchange of ideas, information and training."
