"This book provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and holistic analysis of the socio-psychological dynamics of intractable conflicts. Daniel Bar-Tal, Ŵs original conceptual framework is supported by evidence drawn from different disciplines, including empirical data and illustrative case studies.

He describes a full cycle of intractable conflicts, Ŭ their outbreak, escalation, and reconciliation through peace building. Bar-Tal, Ŵs framework provides a broad theoretical view of the of the socio-psychological repertoire that develops in the course of long-term and violent conflicts, outlines the factors affecting its formation, demonstrates how it is maintained, points out its functions, and describes its consequences.
