Abstract
Third party consultation is a small group, problem-solving method for the study and resolution of social conflict. A statement of the major components of the method is followed by a review of studies involving intergroup conflict resolution in organizational, community and international settings. A number of theoretical issues are identified. Although the wide variety of practical applications are promising, the underlying theory is assessed to be rudimentary, and the supporting research lacks rigor and sophistication. Recommendations for future studies are coupled with a caution against prematurely assuming that the efficacy of the method has been adequately demonstrated. The scientist/-practitioner union is essential to developing an effective social technology of intergroup conflict resolution.
