Comprehending Interpersonal Conflicts: Using R . D. Laing's Meta-Cognition

Comprehending Interpersonal Conflicts: Theory of Mind, Meta-Cognition, and The Perennial Relevance of R. D. Laing
This interactive talk will address relations between theory of mind, meta-cognition and the psychotherapeutic methodology developed by Laing, Phillipson and Lee, called, the "Interpersonal Perception Method." The talk will include: an overview of key concepts, clarification of the concepts with examples, exercises to show how these ideas shed insight into conflict, and finally, an exploration of the relevance of these ideas to contemporary concerns over generative AI chatbots and social robots.
