Q. passive aggressive people normally refuse to communicate openly, hold grudges and manipulate others, is there any real chance to resolve any dispute with these kind of people? Asked by ierll o - Thu Sep 13 06:10:19 2007 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments A. The last thing we want to do in a dispute is throwing labels at one another, especially bogus psychiatric labels. Diagnostic labels may be useful in medicine, because it suggest an immediate treatment. But in psychology it can often be misused and no matter what label, nobody fits in exactly with that label anyway. The only way to resolve the problem is through a course of Assertiveness Training Program, which can be called a Conflict Resolution Program. A book that is an excellent resource for this type of conflict is Make Peace with Anyone by David J. Lieberman.
