Dušan Stojnov is lecturing since 1987. He has given many invited
lectures, seminars, workshops and psychotherapy courses in numerous
conferences and professional institutions in Yugoslavia/Serbia, Greece,
Malta, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy and Czech Republic. His interest
lies primarily in the realm of constructivism and constructionism, where
he was absolutely enchanted by the works of Kelly, Bateson, Maturana,
Foucault, Gergen, Shotter, Harre, Danzinger, Gofman, etc. Through many
years he is trying to develop a superordinate view on different
approaches, such as Personal Construct Psychotherapy, Radical
Constructivism, Social Constructionism, Narrative Psychology, etc. He is
approaching personality from relational point of view, trying to
connect topics of power and subjectivity experiences with psychotherapy.
His current interest includes reading of personal construct psychology
in a social constructivist key and connecting PCP with the views of
Foucault and Goffman advocating for Personal and Relational Construct
Psychology. On the practical side, he has started a new career in
coaching, linking appreciative inquiry approach with personal construct
coaching.
