Using examples ranging from disputes in small organizations to large-scale conflicts in countries around the world, this volume offers practical methods for working with conflict, leadership crises, stagnation, abuse, terrorism, violence, and other social action issues. Mindell brings to his approach not only an understanding of the psychology of conflict, but the knowledge that many disputes can be traced back to inequalities of rank and power between the parties. He openly discusses difficulties rarely acknowledged, providing tools that will enable people to 'sit in the fire' of conflict -- and use it to build community and promote peace.'An invaluable...resource for collective work and mediation facilitation....Mindell is a pioneer, visionary, and leader who recognizes that through quality process and community work, human beings will always flourish and come to creative solutions' -- Angeles Arrien, author, The Four-Fold Way
