She detected a strong pattern to the most intractable conflicts, big and small. She found it in divorces, gang violence and political polarization. From the personal to the tribal, we discuss high conflict, and how to pull free of it.

New York Times: “How to Resolve a Conflict When You Hate Your Opponent’s Guts” — “In the late 1970s, Jay and Lorna walked into the legal offices of Gary Friedman.
