I am specifically interested in repertory grids and have toyed with the idea of purchasing Finn Tschudi Flexigrid to use in learning to apply grids in the psychotherapeutic process. I have a degree in Philosophy and are starting a dissertation in Counseling Psychology for a PhD. I have been an investigator for twenty years doing thousands of interviews. I realized recently how everything I have done may have prepared me to try being a knowledge engineer. I would be intersted in knowing what literature you recommend covering the use of grids and what avaible software is best? I find much validity in what you say and would appreciate hearing your advice,
