THE TREATMENT OF RELATIONAL CONFLICT BY INDIVIDUAL, GROUP, AND INTERPERSONAL METHODS

Abstract

Some of Moreno's main points in "Interpersonal Therapy, Group Therapy ..2' are provided in the first part of these comments. These points will serve as the basis for the critical evaluation that will be given in the second part

The paper provides a restatement of Moreno's concept of interpersonal therapy. Certain kinds of conflict involve interaction between two or more people. The disturbance then is a relational one, and therapy involving relationships is necessary for its solution. This means that treatment, since it must deal with the relational aspects of the conflict, involves all those whose interactions contribute to the problem
