Conflict Transformation

    Conflict Transformation I. Dealing with Conflict Conflict is essentially an aberration of relationship. Conflict resolution is actually restoration of relationship. When we adopt methods that are by nature ‘exclusive’, to resolve, it turns conflict into violent and bitter experience of win / lose kind.
