Editorial Reviews

Review

"I found the final two chapters asked excellent questions that, although intended to provide the impetus for further research, encouraged me to evaluate how I view conflict vis-a-vis my cultural background, my perception of intensely emotional situations and how my identity (self-esteem and values) impacts conflict situations. I would recommend this book for those who would like to take up the challenge of furthering the research of the language of conflict and resolution." (mary Lou Schwartzentruber Interaction )
