Looking through the eyes of perpetrators and supporters of extreme violence: personal construct perspectives on killing, radicalisation, and genocide

  • Přednáška: David Winter, University of Hertfordshire
  • Kontaktní osoby: Mirek Filip
  • 23. 10. 2025 / 16.00
  • zasedací sál Sira Rogera Scrutona, Komenského nám. 220/2, Brno

    Abstract
    The ’credulous attitude’ advocated by personal construct psychology will be introduced and taken to its limits by the presentation of examples of work with people who have killed others, including a serial killer,
    perpetrators of parricide and filicide, and former child soldiers. A personal construct model of radicalisation will then be outlined, drawing upon investigations of a mass murderer, radicalised Salafist Muslims, and political
    activists, including supporters of Donald Trump. This will lead on to consideration of the tragically topical subject of genocide and the constructions which underlie this.

    David Winter
    is Professor Emeritus of Clinical Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, where he was previously Programme Director of the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology as well as being a Head of Clinical Psychology Services in the English National Health Service. He is also Director of Postgraduate Studies at Colombo Institute of Research and Psychology.
    He has applied personal construct psychology in his clinical practice and research throughout his career, and in recent years has extended these applications from the area of psychotherapy to issues such as homicide, warfare, radicalisation, and genocide. He has over 200 publications, and his books include Personal and Relational Construct Psychotherapy (with Harry Procter, 2020, Palgrave Macmillan), Personal Construct Psychology in Clinical Practice: Theory, Research, and Applications (1992, Routledge), Trauma, Survival and Resilience in War Zones: The Psychological Impact of War in Sierra Leone and Beyond (with Rachel Brown, Stephanie Goins, and Clare Mason; 2016, Routledge), Wiley Handbook of Personal Construct Psychology (edited with Nick Reed; 2016, Wiley-Blackwell), and Collected Papers of the Pioneer of Constructivist Psychology: George A. Kelly (edited with Nick Reed; 2025, Wiley-Blackwell). He is a Fellow of the British Psychological Society and former Chair of its Psychotherapy Section, and is President of the George Kelly Society.

    Přednáška je podpořena programem AV Strategie21: Identity ve světě válek a krizí a organizována ve spolupráci s Katedrou psychologie FSS MU.

The workshop is open to academics and students.

Abstract
The morning session of the workshop will introduce the principles of personal construct theory, the first fully elaborated constructivist psychological theory. Illustrations will be provided of the application of this theory in a range of different contexts, demonstrating its contemporary relevance, and participants will have an opportunity to apply aspects of the theory to their own experiences.
The afternoon session will present a range of personal construct methods which can be used as valuable techniques for assessment of the construing of individual clients, and also as research methods that allow the exploration of personal meaning and are amenable to both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Numerous examples will be provided, particularly from the clinical context, and participants will be able to practise the use of some of the principal methods, including repertory grid technique and laddering.
