Abstract
In this paper, the author explores the theory that social conflicts play a fundamental role in enabling people to differentiate themselves from others to whom they are intensely attached. The self-other relationship is explored from the viewpoint of infant research and from socio-psychological and philosophical theories of the mind. The strong connection between seemingly opposed aspects of dependency and the wish for individuation is also illustrated by the etymological meaning of the different nuances of the Latin term 'con-flict'. The author than focuses on ideas from the fields of sociology, social psychology and group analytical theories which reflect the meaning of these contradictory tendencies within change processes in groups and societies. The importance of unconscious dynamics in groups and the need for communication as a means of making oneself understood and finding solutions is also discussed.
