Conflict Resolution helps people recognize their residue of developmental trauma and teaches the psychological tools needed to resolve their conflicts in peaceful ways. This text presents a two-part vision for achieving this natural state of peace. The first part focuses on remediating developmental trauma, particularly that which appears in conflict situations. The second part is an optimal model for birthing and rearing children that focuses on the prevention of developmental trauma.

This volume presents a new paradigm of conflict resolution that is designed to fill the crucial gaps in existing models of conflict resolution and to teach the psychological skills needed to resolve conflicts in a cooperative, peaceful manner.
