THE CHOICE OF THE WAY TO RESOLVE A CONFLICT OF VALUES USING ASSOCIATIVE CARDS

Abstract

The paper examines the concepts of ―value and ―conflict of values. The possibilities of using metaphorical association cards to resolve the conflict are revealed. A scheme of conflict resolution with the help of metaphorical cards is presented. The authors provide an algorithm for analysis of ethical dilemmas using the methods of art therapy. The proceedings will be useful to specialists working in the counseling practice using metaphorical cards for resolution of a wide range of interpersonal problems including conflicts of different nature. Metaphorical cards are a valuable tool of psychological work, which is clearly shown in the paper.
