Take a look at "Ethnographic Interviewing" by James Spradley. I saw it
yesterday in the Anthropology section of Borders Books in DC. I don't
know where else you might find it. Several chapters of the book describe
a way to organize themes taken from many interviews. (The rest of the
chapters give fascinating ideas on how to conduct interviews.)
I don't know this book well, as I merely skimmed it in the bookstore.
