Rigour without numbers: the potential of dialectical processes as qualitative research tools, 2nd edition. By Bob Dick.

The sixteen personality types of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, based on Carl Jung's theories of personality, are here reinterpreted as styles of decision- making. Jung's theories of personality are therefore made more accessible, and their practical implications rendered more apparent and useful.

Search is a visioning technique in which people define a future ideal. This monograph gives a brief and polished version of a much-revised document. It describes a step-by-step description of a well-tried one-day community or strategic planning version of search. In workbook format, it can be used with large numbers (a similar design has been used with about 200) and is suitable when time is limited.

A systematic but flexible approach to third-party mediation is described by means of five "frameworks" ranging from questions to elicit information to the overall shape of the process.
The approach combines consensual and negotiation processes, and ranges from apparently-rational role negotiation to a belief and feeling oriented process derived from the work of Chris Argyris.
