For example, the text by Dhami & Olsson (2008) reports, Egon Brunswick first and Kenneth Hammond thereafter, would be instrumental in making the Social Conflict Theory applicable to interpersonal relations. Here, both thinkers advanced the concept that conflict may be understood also as the natural state of relations between individuals.

The contributions of Brunswik first and, subsequently, Hammond, illustrate that the concept of conflict within the scope of interpersonal relations may actually be the natural path to cooperation.
