	Editorial

	Personal Construct Theory & Practice has now completed its thirteenth year. Since 2004, it has published 108 articles, 14 book reviews, three extensive supplements, and 16 obituaries, Sadly, this year's edition begins with an obituary, too: Seán Brophy, of Dublin, Ireland, passed away in February. Later this year we will be presenting in a special section a collection of papers from the XIVth Biennial Conference of the European Personal Construct Association that was held in Galzignano Terme near Padua, Italy. An exciting development in the PCP world is the foundation of the George Kelly Society (GKS) in 2016, the first international association devoted to the work of George Kelly and his successors. The PCP NewsBlog appears now under the auspices of the George Kelly Society. This journal proudly supports the George Kelly Society - and vice versa. We should like to repeat our invitation to practitioners to share their expertise with our readers. We think that it is important to reflect and discuss the application of Personal Construct Theory because in our view it is one of the strengths of the theory that it has an immense value beyond the academic discourse prevailing in “postmodern” social sciences. Of course, manuscripts on theory and methods are also welcome, including non grid-based techniques. We would like to thank the reviewers who have contributed to maintaining the quality of the journal. This journal is not subsidised, does not receive financial support from commercial enterprises, academic institutions, or government agencies, does not request "article processing charges" (APC) from submitting authors - and is "ad-free"..
