Conflict: Phases, Forums, and Solutions: For our Dreams and Body, Organizations, Governments, and Planet - Softcover

CONFLICT: PHASES, FORUMS, AND SOLUTIONS introduces new and globally tested conflict resolution methods. Mindell's introduction of the phases and forums appearing in conflict work has been applied cross-culturally around the world. This new work has been very helpful for individuals, organizations and governments in North and South America, Europe, Russia, Africa, the Middle East, India, and Asia. This book emphasizes and extends Mindell’s "Deep Democracy" concept to apply to all kinds of diversity issues. There are 28 chapters that demonstrate, explain in detail, and provide many examples and training exercises to work with inner and outer conflict. CONFLICT: PHASES, FORUMS, AND SOLUTIONS also provides meditation methods for facilitators to work with their own dreams and body experiences prior to doing outer conflict work. In a way, this book is several books in one. Mindell says in this book, "Finding solutions to conflict can be an urgent matter of life and death. Solutions are crucial, but they are often unsustainable without everyone learning to relate better to one another and to the issues involved. Relating is an art, a psychology, as well as a hard science."

Arnold Mindell has a Masters degree from MIT, a Ph.D in psychology, was a Jungian training analyst, and developed what is now called, "Process Oriented Psychology" (which at present has over 30 schools worldwide). He has worked with extreme conflict, and many diversity issues as well as with some of the world's largest organizations and governments.
