The topic of spiraling conflict and what happens to us when we are in conflict fascinates everyone equally. The reaction is then thoughtfulness and self-reflection. Everyone has their own conflicts and therefore the topic is close to us. Conflicts are usually stressful and therefore we wish for explanations and ways out.

· What dynamics do conflicts take on and how do they develop?

· What happens to us when we enter the spiral of conflict.

· How does our thinking, our view of things and our interests change?

That is what this book is about. It is based on scientific findings from psychology and conflict research.
