Abstract

Throughout the second edition of this book, I have presented examples of facet theory research. The illustrations I have provided have come from the research of many scholars and from my own. In this final chapter, I close the book by offering examples of one or two other ways in which facet theory has been adapted and used. These examples include its use as an approach that may be used in counselling or therapy, as a tool to plan research projects and as a sort technique.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Facet theory is related to some of the exploratory techniques used in personal construct psychology (see, Fransella and Bannister 2003; Kelly 1963, 1991) some techniques, such as the repertory grid, are analysed quantitatively.

  2. 2.

    The roles that facets may play are identical to those mentioned throughout this book.

  3. 3.

    Julio Sempulveda, PhD.

  4. 4.

    Philosophical interpretations are a major area of ongoing research, including general metaphysics and the art perception theories of Rosalind Kraus.
