Introduction
This thesis is an exploration of process-oriented dialogue and how that is applied in group work and conflict facilitation. It encompasses a range of group-work applications, beginning with an investigation of useful approaches which can be applied in bringing parties to dialogue situations with others of opposing positions.From there it unfolds the ways in which dialogue, in the midst of conflict, contributes to greater understanding of others' positions, and the creation of community spirit. I begin by presenting an overview of the thesis and then look at my investigation in light of my personal history.
