Abstract
These 14 papers are
based on presentations given at the 14th European PCP Conference
which took place at the University of Edinburgh in July 2018. The theme of the
conference was ‘Developing sociality in the 21st Century’. This
collection reflects the wide range of applicability of PCT and the fertility of the theory, especially emerging
from the professionals' points of view.
