People and systems in transition. Behind all conflicts and interpersonal crises lie dreams and deep desires that seek to be realized. When we learn to recognize these dreams and developmental tendencies in the background, conflicts become signposts in a shared and necessary process of change that individuals, groups, and organizations need. I strongly encourage you to read this book and wish that Birgit Theresa Koch could take her conflict mobile to every corner of the world. Arnold Mindell, founder of Process-Oriented Psychology. Birgit Theresa Koch has the ability to show how every everyday conflict, no matter how entrenched, has a deeper significance. A new, astonishing solution is already contained within it. This book is an important contribution to a new culture of dialogue. Max Schupbach, co-founder of Process-Oriented World Work.
