what are some theorists or theories for interpersonal conflict, ie why do we fight with family/friend/work mates and how are these conflicts different between different relationship types. What theories could explain differences? i can't find ant official theories……
You may be able to find some information on Conflict Theory in Wikipedia. I also found some things on Metacrawler by searching for "conflict theory". Apparently the theory proposes that people try to reach consensus by first presenting competing positions. We try to come to a better understanding by listening to these positions. I also think that you should look up Imago therapy, a therapy used to with couples to resolve conflicts.
