From the perspective of international relations theory, realists might argue that power mediation is more apt to settle intransigent conflicts. I oppose such views. Instead, I follow conflict scholars Loraleigh Keashly and Ronald Fisher in their reasoning that such coercive tactics indeed increase the parties\u2019 resistance to resolution\u00b9<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To reach long-term solutions to protracted conflicts, I argue that conflict resolution must focus on approaches and methods that address the underlying psychological dynamics of the conflict embedded in basic human needs of the conflict parties\u00b2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Diving into Conflict Interaction Dynamics<\/h2>\n

Conflict interaction in violent conflict is deeply interwoven with hatred, destructive attitude and mistrust. To abate such antagonisms, psychology scholar Cheryl De La Rey presents various methods for reconciliation, among which she identifies conflict scholar Jay Rothman\u2019s concept of reflexive dialogue as the method that best describes the process of reconciliation\u00b3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to Rothman, reflexive dialogue aims to \u2018reframe [the participants\u2019] perceptions and analyses of each other and their own identities: in short, they learn to articulate their own voice clearly and to recognize each other\u2019s voices as valid\u2019\u2074<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Within the Context of Conflict Transformation<\/h4>\n

What is more, the author recognizes great resonance with Robert Bush and Joseph Folger\u2019s transformative mediation model\u2075<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

It is thus conflict interaction itself, rather than the issues at stake, that deserves greater care and consideration.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To paraphrase peace scholar John Paul Lederach, it is essential to establish a conflict transformation framework that prioritizes relationship building rather than one being dominated by events and agreements\u2076<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More Heart, Less Mind<\/h2>\n

Most scholars and practitioners argue that reconciliation belongs to the phase of post-conflict peacebuilding; that is, once a peace agreement is signed. In lieu of an attempt to denunciate the role of reconciliation in a post-conflict setting, I see the value of its healing functions also being extended to other phases of conflict resolution\u2077<\/a>: prior to and during conflict settlement.<\/em><\/p>\n

In other words, I express support for an innovative form of conflict resolution that portrays relationship building as an end in itself.<\/p>\n

A starting point may consist of examining more rigorously how conflict interaction in deep-rooted social conflicts can be improved with the aim to strengthen the value of the negotiation process by looking at the underlying social-psychological dimensions of the conflict dynamics.<\/p>\n

Human-Driven Approaches<\/h4>\n

The mainstream negotiation and mediation literature underscores the importance of converging supposedly incompatible goals and conflict settlement\u2078<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

In fact, a lot of attention has been devoted to the settlement-driven and too little to the human-driven or relational-driven <\/em>approaches, i.e. conflict resolution approaches whereby relationship-building processes are the main objective.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

By no means do I intend to detract the valuable efforts of more traditional approaches to peacebuilding, such as integrative bargaining. On the contrary, I welcome these methods. As a matter of fact, I envisage a more mutually recognizing connection between them and the role of psychology in the field of peacebuilding\u2079<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Robert Rothstein has furthermore stated that \u2018since there is obviously an important psychological or emotional component of protracted conflicts, there is surely likely to be an equally important psychological or emotional component to their resolution\u2019\u00b9\u2070<\/a>. This statement paints the backdrop to the argument that I wish to convey in this article.<\/em><\/p>\n

Re-Humanizing Conflict Interaction<\/h2>\n

In this regard, I agree with Wendy Lambourne to the extent that the relational and psychological dimensions in peacebuilding remain under-researched\u00b9\u00b9<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In fact, in her doctoral dissertation, Berenike Carstarphen\u00b9\u00b2<\/a> denotes that attitudes, affective processes and the constructive role of emotions constitute a gap in the conflict resolution literature.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Moreover, recognizing that societies are socially constructed, I argue that a more prominent role is required for the re-humanization of conflict interaction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Indeed, there is need for a greater and more constructive role of emotions in conflict resolution approaches that attempt to counter downward spiralling conflict interaction.<\/p>\n

Such reframing of conflict interaction requires greater emphasis on relationship building as well as bringing about attitudinal transformation.<\/p>\n

Adopting a Transcendent Identity<\/h2>\n

An essential step in this endeavour is considering non-negotiable identity needs, such as national identity\u00b9\u00b3<\/a>, as a sine qua non for approaches that envisage long-term solutions to protracted conflicts.<\/p>\n

In this context, unravelling the de-humanization or demonization of the parties in violent, deep-rooted identity-based social conflicts is observed as a crucial endeavour to transform destructive conflict interaction.<\/p>\n

Therefore, attitudinal transformation must be contextualized in terms of identity of self and the other.<\/p>\n

What Is Herbert Telling Us?<\/h4>\n

An interesting notion to contemplate at this point, is Herbert Kelman\u2019s concept of transcendent identity.<\/p>\n

\n

Kelman refers with transcendent identity to a common identity for the different identity groups that does not supplant the particularistic identities. At the very contrary, such identity accepts the coexistence of the separate identities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Kelman emphasizes the importance of cultivating the particularistic identities of each group, referring hereby to Henri Tajfel\u2019s social identity theory, which emphasizes the individual basic need for psychological distinctiveness within and between groups\u00b9\u2074<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kelman contends that \u2018[t]here are two major types of negative identity elements that are often brought to the fore by the relationship to the other in a protracted conflict: the view of one\u2019s self as weak and vulnerable, and the view of one\u2019s self as violent and unjust\u2019\u00b9\u2075<\/a>. The former refers to the role of victim and the latter to that of victimizer.<\/p>\n

Although no party would prefer to present itself neither as the other\u2019s helpless victim nor as the other\u2019s brutal aggressor, Kelman argues that the nature of the conflict imposes these distorted views of self upon them.<\/p>\n

More importantly, it is the conflict interaction itself that engenders such negative interdependence.<\/em><\/p>\n

Reframing the Socially Constructed Identities<\/h2>\n

To support the disentanglement of this negative interdependence, Kelman\u2019s notion of interactive conflict transformation can be of help here.<\/p>\n

It entails transforming the destructive conflict relationship by scrutinizing the identity of each party; by surmounting the fixated idea that, in fact, \u2018the other is a source of some of the negative elements in one\u2019s own identity\u2019\u00b9\u2076<\/a>; by addressing the parties\u2019 fears and needs; and, by fostering trust among the parties.<\/p>\n

It Is All About Perception<\/h4>\n

Thus, it all comes down to reframing the socially constructed identities of the participants. Since perceptions drive attitude\u00b9\u2077<\/a> and behavior\u00b9\u2078<\/a>, reframing identities in a protracted conflict can be boiled down to reframing perceptions towards the conflict and the conflict interaction itself.<\/p>\n

I do not pretend to suggest that conflict parties are in any way wrong about their own perceptions.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Instead, by reframing perceptions, I specifically refer to the process whereby conflict parties autonomously decide to consider the other\u2019s perceptions as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This can happen through direct interaction with the other or through self-reflection.<\/p>\n

First Things First<\/h2>\n

The above theoretical observations have taught me to appreciate a greater role \u2014 and, perhaps, a greater need \u2014 for intrapersonal aspects in conflict resolution.<\/p>\n

Before being able to genuinely take into account the other\u2019s perceptions, I would argue that the transformation of a conflict must begin at the intrapersonal level.<\/p>\n

\n

This means that we first deal with attitudinal transformation (intrapersonal change) before addressing relational transformation (interpersonal and intergroup changes).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Start with Yourself<\/h4>\n

I would argue that once a person\u2019s mind is receptive to actively start working with his or her own underlying grievances and deep-seated wounds, a healing process is allowed to commence.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Only when a certain stage of greater self-awareness and personal strength towards oneself is reached, the individual will be susceptible to begin considering the feelings, needs and fears of the other person\u00b9\u2079<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

At this moment, the transformation process of the interpersonal relationship can begin. Similarly, once the interpersonal relationship has been empowered, the intergroup relationship can receive greater attention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

We wait for that insight, for that click, for that new perspective, for that shift to happen so that everything just makes sense. And when it does click, it feels as if the solution was right there all along. Everything feels familiar and we feel so much lighter. Only this time, we are wearing a new and more experienced jacket. While circling through life one step at a time, the key insight lies in the fact that we are all connected. My name is Olivier and I write in circles to eventually come back to the same point. In the meantime, at every step, I write an article. The red thread throughout all my articles is our interconnected nature.","sameAs":["https:\/\/acircleisround.com","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/olivier.loose","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/olivier-loose-8b32537\/","https:\/\/x.com\/OlivierLoose"]}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/acircleisround.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Psychoanalysis_Intrapersonal.png?fit=1041%2C529&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pbpzPS-90","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":490,"url":"https:\/\/acircleisround.com\/nl\/2019\/12\/09\/the-theorized-role-of-psychotherapy-in-multi-level-conflict-resolution\/","url_meta":{"origin":558,"position":0},"title":"The Theorized Role of Psychotherapy in Multi-Level Conflict Resolution","author":"Olivier Loose","date":"december 9, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"This article aims to contribute to the theoretical discussion on socio-psychological approaches to conflict resolution.
