Abstract
- Newbrough's Third Position is discussed in terms of its utility as a framework within which to understand and resolve interpersonal differences, seemingly irresolvable diametric differences, and conflictual situations. The framework's essential elements and its application is illustrated through the presentation of a series of fictitious scenarios that open with conflict and close with a resolution in which the interested parties feel heard and satisfied. The intent of the commentary is to re-introduce community psychologists to this framework and encourage its consideration, application, and investigation in responding to community-based conflicts and the resolution of seeming impasses. The Third Position is presented as a valuable tool for the community psychologist involved with conflict resolution, community consultation, and community development. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
