Document Summary
Contradictory or opposing tensions, and dialectical theory focuses on those tensions without necessarily trying to resolve them (about problems, but doesn"t" try to solve them) In any relationship there are inherent tensions between contradictory impulses or dialectics. Dialectic tensions and how respond to them determines how are relationship functions, evolves and changes over time. Natural, normal, and even inevitable dynamics in human relationships. Focuses on the tensions/friction caused by the opposing things. Ex. wanting independence and also wanting dependence, privacy in a relationship but also intimacy. Temporary periods of equilibrium between opposing dialectics in the larger pattern of continuous change that marks relationships. Conflict and opposition between 2 things but sees those things as necessarily dependent (contradictions need each other) Ex. independence is only meaningful because there is such thing as dependence. Can"t understand/ appreciate one side of contradiction without the other one. Understand dialectics are ongoing, always in motion, forever changing, shifting, and resurfacing.
