Extract

An interpersonal problem is having a goal or desired interaction involving another person that is not being met. Interpersonal problems are an ongoing part of life. Whether it be deciding where to have lunch with a friend or your neighbour continually parking his car in front of your home, we are involved in interpersonal problems everyday. We are gregarious, and inherent within interaction with others in conflict. As educators we are continually aware of the number of interpersonal difficulties which occur within the classroom everyday.
